FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is in the field of plant biochemistry. More specifically the invention relates to nucleic acid sequences from plant cells, in particular, nucleic acid sequences from maize and soybean plants associated with the sucrose pathway. The invention encompasses nucleic acid molecules that encode proteins and fragments of proteins. In addition, the invention also encompasses proteins and fragments of proteins so encoded and antibodies capable of binding these proteins or fragments. The invention also relates to methods of using the nucleic acid molecules, proteins and fragments of proteins and antibodies, for example for genome mapping, gene identification and analysis, plant breeding, preparation of constructs for use in plant gene expression and transgenic plants.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Carbon fixed during photosynthesis is either retained in the chloroplast and converted to a storage carbohydrate, for example, starch, or it is transferred to the cytosol in the form of triose phosphates and converted to sucrose. The newly synthesized sucrose in source tissues is a major transported form of reduced carbon in higher plants and can be either metabolized into other carbohydrates, stored in the vacuole or exported to other plant tissues. Plant tissues where sucrose is synthesized, such as leaves, are often referred to as ‘source’ tissues. Translocated sucrose is retained in ‘sink’ tissues (such as expanding leaves, growing seeds, flowers, roots or tubers, and fruit) and may be assimilated, or further metabolized to sustain cell maintenance or fuel growth, or be converted to alternative storage compounds (e.g., starch, fats). The relative type and size of these carbohydrate pools vary during tissue development, between different plant species, and within the same species subject to different environmental conditions. Such differences are reported to affect the yield and quality of agricultural produce.

Sucrose synthesis and catabolism are reported to be highly coordinated and regulated processes that may also be coordinately regulated with other dedicated metabolic pathways in a particular plant, plant organ or cell type. Sucrose synthesis is reported to be coordinately regulated with starch metabolism and photosynthesis in green ‘source’ plant tissues. Sucrose supply by transport mechanisms to actively growing ‘sink’ tissues is reported to be coordinated with plant development. In growing sink tissues, the supply of carbohydrate is reported to be important to other metabolic pathways and physiological processes including respiration, starch biosynthesis, cell wall biogenesis, lipid and protein biosynthesis. Sucrose synthesis and/or transport is also reported to play a role in the carbohydrate capacity that is available to growing fruits and seeds. Sucrose resynthesis during seed germination is reported to play a role in seedling vigor and agronomic stand establishment in many plant species during early plant development.

In many plant species, enzymes of pathways involved in sucrose metabolism can play a role in plant physiology and plant growth and development. Compartmentation and temporal regulation of genes and enzymes of sucrose metabolic pathways can allow multiple pathways to utilize sucrose as a common metabolite. Flux through a particular sucrose metabolic pathway can define the utilization of sucrose in any tissue or developmental stage. Sucrose and its metabolite products have been reported to play a role in gene regulation and expression of the sucrose pathway and other metabolic pathways in plants.

The synthesis of sucrose precursors (triose and hexose phosphates) is derived from either photosynthetic CO₂ fixation or degradation of previously deposited storage reserves. One substrate for sucrose synthesis in photosynthetic tissues is three carbon sugar phosphates. These are exported from the chloroplast during photosynthesis, predominantly in the form of triose phosphates. The pool of triose phosphates, dihydroxyacetone phosphate (“DHAP”), and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (“GAP”), is maintained at equilibrium within the cytoplasm by triose phosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.1). A subsequent reaction involves an aldol condensation of DHAP and GAP, catalyzed by the enzyme fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (often called aldolase) (EC 4.1.2.13) to form fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (“F1,6BP”). Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (“FBPase”) (EC 3.1.3.11) catalyzes the cleavage of phosphate from the C1 carbon of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to form fructose-6-phosphate (“F6P”). This reaction is essentially irreversible and has been reported to represent the first committed step within the pathway of sucrose synthesis. The cytosolic FBPase has been reported to be subject to allosteric regulation and may serve to coordinate the rate of sucrose synthesis with that of photosynthesis. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (“F2,6BP”) is reported to be a regulator of FBPase (Black et al., In: Regulation of Carbohydrate Partitioning In Photosynthetic Tissue, Heath and Preiss, eds., Waverly, Baltimore, 109-126 (1985); Stitt et al., In: Biochemistry Of Plants, Vol. 10, Hatch and Boardman, eds., Academic Press, New York, 327-407 (1987), both of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). The concentration of F2,6BP is reported to be controlled in plants by two enzymes, fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (F2,6Bpase) (EC 3.1.3.46) and fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase (F6P,2K) (EC 2.7.1.105) (Stitt, Annu. Rev. Plant Physiol. Plant Mol. Biol. 41: 153-181 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Glucose-6-phosphate (“G6P”) and glucose-1-phosphate (“G1P”) are reported to be maintained in equilibrium with the F6P pool by the action of phosphoglucoisomerase (“PGI”) (EC 5.3.1.9) and phosphoglucomutase (“PGM”) (EC 5.4.2.2), respectively. Uridine diphosphate glucose (“UDPG”) and pyrophosphate (“PPi”) are formed from uridine triphosphate (“UTP”) and G1P catalyzed by the enzyme UDPG-pyrophosphorylase (“UDPGase”) (EC 2.7.7.9). This reaction is reversible and net flux in the direction of sucrose synthesis is reported to require removal of its products, particularly PPi. A pyrophosphate-dependent proton pump, vacuolar H⁺-translocating-pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.1), has been identified within the vacuolar membrane and has been reported to utilize pyrophosphate to sustain a proton gradient formed between these two compartments (Rea et al., Trends in Biol. Sci. 17: 348-353 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

A pyrophosphate-dependent fructose-6-phosphate phosphotransferase (“PFP”) (EC 2.7.1.90) is also present in the cytoplasm and catalyzes the reversible production of F1,6BP and Pi from F6P and PPi. One reported function of PFP is to operate in a futile cycle with the cytosolic FBPase, and function as a “pseudopyrophosphatase” recycling PPi. Uridine diphosphate glucose is then combined with F6P to form sucrose-6-phosphate (“S6P”). This reaction is catalyzed by sucrose phosphate synthase (“SPS”) (EC 2.4.1.14). Attachment of UDP to the glucose moiety activates the C1 carbon atom of UDPG, which is necessary for the subsequent formation of a glycosidic bond in sucrose. In certain organisms, SPS is capable of using adenine diphosphate glucose (“ADPG”), instead of UDPG, as a substrate. The use of nucleotide biphosphate sugars is a feature of metabolic pathways leading to the production of disaccharides and polysaccharides. SPS is reported to be subject to allosteric and covalent regulation and, in conjunction with the cytosolic FBPase, reportedly serves to coordinate the rate of sucrose synthesis with the rate of photosynthesis. The reported final reaction in the pathway is catalyzed by sucrose-6-phosphate phosphatase (“SPPase” or “SPP”) (EC 3.1.3.24), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of S6P to sucrose. It has been reported that SPS and SPPase may associate to form a multienzyme complex, that the rate of sucrose-6-phosphate synthesis by SPS is enhanced in the presence of SPP, and that the rate of sucrose-6-phosphate hydrolysis by SPP is increased in the presence of SPS (Echeverria et al., Plant Physiol. 115: 223-227 (1997), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety).

I. Sucrose Synthesis

Reviews describing fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (“FBPase”, EC 3.1.3.11) include those by Hers and Van Shaftingen, Biochem J. 206:1-12 (1982), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference, and Stitt, Annu. Rev. Plant Physiol. Plant Mol. Biol. 41:153-181 (1990). Two isoforms of FBPase are reported to exist in plants. The first isoform is associated with the plastid and occurs largely in photosynthetic plastids. The second isoform, located in the cytoplasm, is reported to be involved in both gluconeogenesis and sucrose synthesis (Zimmerman et al., J. Biol. Chem. 253: 5952-5956 (1978); Stitt and Heldt, Planta 164: 179-188 (1985), both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety). FBPase catalyzes an irreversible reaction in the direction of F6P synthesis in vivo and has been reported to represent the first committed step in the pathway of sucrose synthesis. The properties of the enzyme are reported to involve the action of several regulatory metabolites (Stitt et al., In: Biochemistry Of Plants, Vol. 10, Hatch and Boardman, eds., Academic Press, New York, 327-407 (1987)). The enzyme reportedly has a high affinity for its substrate F1,6BP, a requirement for Mg²⁺, a requirement for a neutral pH, is weakly inhibited (Km 2-4 μm) by adenosine monophosphate (AMP), and is strongly inhibited by the regulatory metabolite F2,6BP (Hers and Van Shaftingen, Biochem J. 206: 1-12 (1982); Black et al., In: Regulation of Carbohydrate Partitioning In Photosynthetic Tissue, Heath and Preiss, eds., Waverly, Baltimore, 109-126 (1985); Huber, Annu. Rev. Plant Physiol. 37: 233-246 (1986); Stitt et al., In: Biochemistry Of Plants, Vol. 10, Hatch and Boardman, eds., Academic Press, New York, 327-407 (1987), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). F2,6BP is also an activator of PFP and reportedly plays a role in the regulation of gluconeogenetic and respiratory metabolism.

The concentration of F2,6BP is reportedly determined in plants by two enzymes, fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (“F2,6BPase”) (EC 3.1.3.46) and fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase (“F6P,2K”) (EC 2.7.1.105). A review of these enzymes is provided by Stitt, Annu. Rev. Plant Physiol. Plant Mol. Biol. 41: 153-181 (1990). Regulation of the activity of the F1,6FBPase and the rate of sucrose synthesis is reported to be, at least in part, brought about by changes in the concentration of F2,6BP.

Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS (EC 2.4.1.14)) catalyzes a reaction that is displaced from equilibrium in vivo in the direction of S6P synthesis and is reported as an essentially irreversible reaction in vivo (Stitt et al., In: Biochemistry Of Plants, Vol. 10, Hatch and Boardman, eds., Academic Press, New York, 327-407 (1987); Lunn and Rees, Biochem. J. 267: 739-743 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; U.S. Pat. No. 5,665,892, the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). SPS has been purified from spinach and Zea mays, and the amino acid and cDNA sequences have been published (Worrel et al., Plant Cell 3:1121-1130 (1991); Klein et al., Planta 190: 498-510 (1993); Sonnewald et al., Planta 189: 174-181 (1993), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). The enzyme has a subunit molecular weight of 117 kDa from spinach (Klein et al., Planta 190: 498-510 (1993); Sonnewald et al., Planta 189: 174-181 (1993), both of which are herein incorporated by reference) and pea (Lunn and Rees, Phytochem. 29: 1057-1063 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) and 135 kDa from Zea mays (Worrel et al., Plant Cell 3:1121-1130 (1991)). The native enzyme reportedly exists as a tetramer (Walker and Huber, Plant Physiol. 89: 518-524 (1988); Lunn and Rees, Phytochem. 29: 1057-1063 (1990); Worrel et al., Plant Cell 3:1121-1130 (1991), although dimeric molecular weights have been reported (Klein et al., Planta 190: 498-510 (1993), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Activity has been observed for SPS at both dimeric and tetrameric molecular weights (Sonnewald et al., Planta 189:174-181 (1993), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

SPS is located in the cytosol, has a neutral pH optimum, and has been detected in all plant tissues which undertake active sucrose synthesis. SPS is also reported to undertake active sucrose synthesis. An increase in abundance of the enzyme is has been reported during the development of leaves, germination of seeds and ripening of fruit. The enzyme has been reported to be subject to regulation by metabolites and is activated by G6P and is inhibited by Pi. Pi and GP6 are reported to act competitively at an allosteric site of the enzyme. In the presence of high Pi concentrations, the enzyme is phosphorylated which reduces activity of the enzyme. It has also been reported that light-induced photosynthesis increases the activity of SPS in crude extracts (Sicher and Kremer, Plant Physiol. 79: 910-912 (1984), Sicher and Kremer, Plant Physiol. 79: 695-698 (1985); Pollock and Housley, Ann. Bot. 55: 593-596 (1985), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). In addition, it has been reported that compounds altering the phosphate status of the leaf can simulate the effects of light. Feeding leaves mannose, which sequesters phosphate by its conversion to the non-metabolized mannose-6-P, has been reported to cause activation of SPS (Stitt et al., Planta 174: 217-230 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of SPS is catalyzed by SPS-phosphatase and SPS-kinase, respectively (Huber et al., Plant Physiol. 99: 1275-1278 (1992). Hydrolysis of sucrose-6-P to sucrose is catalyzed by sucrose-6-phosphatase (SPPase or SPP) (EC 3.1.3.24). The activity of both SPS and SPP is reported to be affected by a multienzyme complex between SPS and SPP (Echeverria et al., Plant Physiol. 115: 223-227 (1997)).

Regulatory properties of SPS and FBPase are reported to coordinate the rate of sucrose synthesis with that of photosynthesis (Stitt, In: Plant Physiology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Dennis and Turpin, eds., Singapore, London, 319-340 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). When photosynthesis produces triose phosphate in excess of the rate of sucrose synthesis, a feed-forward activation of sucrose synthesis occurs. Triose phosphate crosses the chloroplast membrane in exchange for cytosolic Pi. Under these conditions, F6P,2-kinase activity is reduced and the inhibition of F2,6Bpase is decreased.

As cytosolic F2,6BP falls, F2,6BPase activity increases, and F6P levels increase. Hexose phosphate levels are reported to increase due to PGM and PGI, and with low Pi, activate SPS and F1,6BPase. Reduction in rate of photosynthesis must result in a deactivation of sucrose synthesis, which occurs through decreased cytosolic triose-P, increased Pi and ultimately increased F2,6BP concentration and reduced SPS activity (Stitt, Phil. Trans. R Soc. Lond. B 342: 225-233 (1993); Huber et al., Plant Physiol. 99: 1275-1278 (1992); Neuhaus et al., Planta 181: 583-592 (1990), both of which are herein incorporated by reference).

II. Metabolic Pathways of Sucrose Catabolism

Sucrose can initially be cleaved by invertases (EC 3.2.1.26) or by sucrose synthases (EC 2.4.1.13). Invertases, which are classified as acid or alkaline in pH preference (Karuppiah et al., Plant Physiol. 91: 993-998 (1989); Fahrendorf and Beck, Planta 180: 237-244 (1990); Iwatsubo et al., Biosc. Biotech. Biochem. 56: 1959-1962 (1992); Unger et al., Plant Physiol. 104: 1351-1357 (1994); Avigad, In: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology, Vol 13A, Loewus and Tanner, eds., Springer Verlag, Heidelberg, 217-347 (1982), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety), irreversibly cleave sucrose into glucose and fructose, both of which is usually phosphorylated for further metabolism. The invertase pathway usually is associated with rapidly growing sink tissues such as expanding leaves, expanding internodes, flower petals, and early fruit development (Avigad, In: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology, Vol 13A, Loewus and Tanner, eds., Springer Verlag, Heidelberg, 217-347 (1982); Huber, Plant Physiol. 91: 656-662 (1989); Morris and Arthur, Phytochem. 23: 2163-2167 (1984); Hawker et al., Phytochem. 15: 1441-1443 (1976); Schaffer et al., Plant Physiol. 69: 151-155 (1987), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

Sucrose synthase carries out the kinetically reversible transglycosylation of sucrose and UDP into fructose and UDPG, requiring only the phosphorylation of fructose for additional metabolism. Polysaccharide biosynthesis in sink tissues may utilize a sucrose synthase mediated sucrose catabolism (Avigad, In: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology, Vol 13A, Loewus and Tanner, eds., Springer Verlag, Heidelberg, 217-347 (1982); Doehlert et al., Plant Physiol. 86: 1013-1019 (1988); Dale and Housley Plant Physiol. 82: 7-10 (1986), all of which are herein incorporated by reference). Respiring tissues reportedly utilize either sucrose synthase or invertase metabolic pathways (Echeverria and Humphreys, Phytochem. 23: 2173-2178 (1984); Uritani and Asahi, In: The Biochemistry of Plants Vol. 2, Davies, ed., Academic Press, New York, 463-487 (1980), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). Tissues that are undergoing respiration, starch biosynthesis, amino acid and fatty acid synthesis, rapid expansion or growth, and other cellular metabolism, can utilize several sucrose metabolic pathways which may be temporally or compartmentally regulated (Doehlert et al., Plant Physiol. 86: 1013-1019 (1988); Doehlert, Plant Physiol. 78: 560-567 (1990); Doehlert and Choury, In: Recent Advances in Phloem Transport and Assimilate Compartmentation, Bonnemain et al., eds., Ouest editions, Nantes, France, 187-195 (1991); Delmer and Stone, In: The Biochemistry of Plants, Vol. 14, Preiss, ed., Academic Press, San Diego, 373-420 (1988); Maas et al., EMBO J. 9: 3447-3452 (1990), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

Hexose kinases are a class of enzymes responsible for the phosphorylation of hexoses, and are classified into two groups. Hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) can phosphorylate either glucose or fructose, with different isoforms often unique to different tissues or plant species. Different isoforms can have affinities for different hexoses (Turner and Copeland, Plant Physiol. 68: 1123-1127 (1981), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Copeland and Turner, In: The Biochemistry of Plants, Vol. 11, Stumpf and Conn, eds., Academic Press, New York, 107-128 (1987), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Hexokinases include fructokinases (EC 2.7.1.11), which typically have specific affinities for fructose (Doehlert, Plant Physiol. 89: 1042-1048 (1989); Renz and Stitt Planta 190: 166-175 (1993), both of which are herein incorporated by reference). Fructokinases can also be specific in their affinity for nucleotides. The extent to which a fructokinase utilizes UTP may play a physiological role in how efficiently UDP can be recycled for sucrose synthase activity in a particular tissue (Huber and Akazawa, Plant Physiol. 81: 1008-1013 (1986); Xu et al., Plant Physiol. 90: 635-642 (1989), both of which are herein incorporated by reference). UDP levels for the sucrose synthase reaction may be maintained, even in the case of an ATP-specific fructokinase, by the enzyme NDP-kinase (EC 2.7.4.6).

NDP-kinase has been reported in several plant tissues (Kirkland and Turner, J. Biochem. 72: 716-720 (1959); Bryce and Nelson, Plant Physiol. 63: 312-317 (1979); Dancer et al., Plant Physiol. 92: 637-641 (1990); Yano et al., Plant Molec. Biol. 23: 1087-1090 (1993), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). Fructokinase can be substrate inhibited by fructose. In addition, sucrose synthase can be inhibited by fructose (Doehlert, Plant Sci. 52: 153-157 (1987); Morell and Copeland, Plant Physiol. 78: 140-154 (1985), Ross and Davies, Plant Physiol. 100: 1008-1013 (1992), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). Whereas plant tissues where sucrose is catabolized by sucrose synthase predominantly contain fructokinases (Xu et al., Plant Physiol. 90: 635-642 (1989); Kursanov et al., Soviet Plant Physiol. 37: 507-515 (1990); Ross et al., Plant Physiol. 90: 748-756 (1994)), plant tissues where sucrose is catabolized by invertase often contain hexokinases (Nakamura et al., Plant Physiol. 81: 215-220 (1991)). Tissues which have both invertase and sucrose synthase activity may contain both hexose kinases (Nakamura et al., Plant Physiol. 81: 215-220 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). F6P resulting from hexose kinase activity can be further metabolized in glycolysis or used in resynthesis of sucrose by SPS. G6P resulting from hexose kinase activity can enter the pentose phosphate pathway, via G6P dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), or be converted to F6P by phosphoglucoisomerase (“PGI”) (EC 5.3.1.9) or G1P by phosphoglucomutase (“PGM”) (EC 5.4.2.2) (Rees, In: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology Vol 18, Douce and Day, eds., Springer Verlag, Berlin, 391-417 (1985); Copeland and Turner, In: The Biochemistry of Plants Vol. 11, Stumpf and Conn, eds., Academic Press, New York, 107-128 (1987); Foster and Smith, Planta 180: 237-244 (1993), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

PGI and PGM are reported to be ubiquitous and reversible with commitments of G6P to either F6P or G1P resulting from fluxes in metabolites further along each pathway, i.e., depending on the cell needs for glycolysis (F6P) or starch biosynthesis (G1P) (Edwards and Rees, Phytochem. 25: 2033-2039 (1986); Kursanov et al., Soviet Plant Physiol. 37: 507-515 (1990); Tobias et al., Plant Physiol. 99: 140-145 (1992), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). UDPG formed by sucrose synthase may be utilized directly for cellulose or callose biosynthesis via UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.2) (Robertson et al., Phytochem. 39: 21-28 (1995), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), can be used for sucrose synthesis by SPS or sucrose synthase, or for glycolysis or starch metabolism dependent on further metabolism by UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (EC 2.7.7.9). UDP-glucose phosphorylase has been reported to be a largely reversible enzyme (Kleczkowski, Phytochem. 37: 1507-1515 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Flux through UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase is reported to be influenced by metabolite levels and utilization of reaction products further along in the pathways (Doehlert et al., Plant Physiol. 86: 1013-1019 (1988); Huber and Akazawa, Plant Physiol. 81: 1008-1013 (1986); Zrenner et al., Planta 190: 247-252 (1993), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). The reversibility of PGI, PGM and UDPGPPase has been reported to provide for metabolic variability and networking in metabolism, independent of which initial enzyme cleaved sucrose.

The fate of F6P reportedly plays a role in carbohydrate metabolism. NTP-phosphofructokinase (PFK) (EC 2.7.1.11) (Copeland and Turner, In: The Biochemistry of Plants Vol. 11, Stumpf and Conn, eds., Academic Press, New York, 107-128 (1987); Dennis and Greyson, Plant Physiol. 69: 395-404 (1987); Rees, In: The Biochemistry of Plants Vol. 14, Preiss, ed., Academic Press, San Diego, 1-33 (1988), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety) is reported to irreversibly convert F6P to F16BP and is associated with glycolysis. The reverse reaction of F16BP to F6P, associated with gluconeogenesis, is essentially irreversible, and is catalyzed by FBPase (EC 3.1.3.11) (Black et al., Plant Physiol. 69: 387-394 (1987). Both reactions may be carried out in a reversible manner by a PPi-dependent fructose-6-phosphate phosphotransferase or PPi-phosphofructokinase (PFP; EC 2.7.1.90) (Black et al., Plant Physiol. 69: 387-394 (1987).

PPi-dependent fructose-6-phosphate phosphotransferase or PPi-phosphofructokinase is reported to play a role in the generation of biosynthetic intermediates (Dennis and Greyson, Plant Physiol. 69: 395-404 (1987); Tobias et al., Plant Physiol. 99: 146-152 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) in addition to the cycling of PPi for UDPGPPase and ultimately UDP for sucrose synthase (Huber and Akazawa, Plant Physiol. 81: 1008-1013 (1986); Black et al., Plant Physiol. 69: 387-394 (1987); Rees, In: The Biochemistry of Plants Vol. 14, Preiss, ed., Academic Press, San Diego, 1-33 (1988), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

II. Expressed Sequence TAG Nucleic Acid Molecules

Expressed sequence tags, or ESTs are randomly sequenced members of a cDNA library (or complementary DNA)(McCombie et al., Nature Genetics 1:124-130 (1992); Kurata et al., Nature Genetics 8:365-372 (1994); Okubo et al., Nature Genetics 2:173-179 (1992), all of which references are incorporated herein in their entirety). The randomly selected clones comprise insets that can represent a copy of up to the full length of a mRNA transcript.

Using conventional methodologies, cDNA libraries can be constructed from the mRNA (messenger RNA) of a given tissue or organism using poly dT primers and reverse transcriptase (Efstratiadis et al., Cell 7:279-3680 (1976), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Higuchi et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 73:3146-3150 (1976), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Maniatis et al., Cell 8:163-182 (1976) the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Land et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 9:2251-2266 (1981), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Okayama et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 2:161-170 (1982), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Gubler et al., Gene 25:263-269 (1983), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Several methods may be employed to obtain full-length cDNA constructs. For example, terminal transferase can be used to add homopolymeric tails of dC residues to the free 3′ hydroxyl groups (Land et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 9:2251-2266 (1981), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). This tail can then be hybridized by a poly dG oligo which can act as a primer for the synthesis of full length second strand cDNA. Okayama and Berg, Mol. Cell. Biol. 2:161-170 (1982), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference, report a method for obtaining full length cDNA constructs. This method has been simplified by using synthetic primer-adapters that have both homopolymeric tails for priming the synthesis of the first and second strands and restriction sites for cloning into plasmids (Coleclough et al., Gene 34:305-314 (1985), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) and bacteriophage vectors (Krawinkel et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 14:1913 (1986), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Han et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 15:6304 (1987), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

These strategies have been coupled with additional strategies for isolating rare mRNA populations. For example, a typical mammalian cell contains between 10,000 and 30,000 different mRNA sequences (Davidson, Gene Activity in Early Development, 2nd ed., Academic Press, New York (1976), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). The number of clones required to achieve a given probability that a low-abundance mRNA will be present in a cDNA library is N=(1n(1−P))/(1n(1−1/n)) where N is the number of clones required, P is the probability desired and 1/n is the fractional proportion of the total mRNA that is represented by a single rare mRNA (Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

A method to enrich preparations of mRNA for sequences of interest is to fractionate by size. One such method is to fractionate by electrophoresis through an agarose gel (Pennica et al., Nature 301:214-221 (1983), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Another such method employs sucrose gradient centrifugation in the presence of an agent, such as methylmercuric hydroxide, that denatures secondary structure in RNA (Schweinfest et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 79:4997-5000 (1982), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

A frequently adopted method is to construct equalized or normalized cDNA libraries (Ko, Nucleic Acids Res. 18:5705-5711 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Patanjali et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 88:1943-1947 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Typically, the cDNA population is normalized by subtractive hybridization (Schmid et al., J. Neurochem. 48:307-312 (1987), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Fargnoli et al., Anal. Biochem. 187:364-373 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Travis et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 85:1696-1700 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Kato, Eur. J. Neurosci. 2:704-711 (1990); and Schweinfest et al., Genet. Anal. Tech. Appl. 7:64-70 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Subtraction represents another method for reducing the population of certain sequences in the cDNA library (Swaroop et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 19:1954 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

ESTs can be sequenced by a number of methods. Two basic methods may be used for DNA sequencing, the chain termination method of Sanger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 74:5463-5467 (1977), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference and the chemical degradation method of Maxam and Gilbert, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 74:560-564 (1977), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference. Automation and advances in technology such as the replacement of radioisotopes with fluorescence-based sequencing have reduced the effort required to sequence DNA (Craxton, Methods 2:20-26 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Ju et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 92:4347-4351 (1995), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Tabor and Richardson, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 92:6339-6343 (1995), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Automated sequencers are available from, for example, Pharmacia Biotech, Inc., Piscataway, N.J. (Pharmacia ALF), LI-COR, Inc., Lincoln, Neb. (LI-COR 4,000) and Millipore, Bedford, Mass. (Millipore BaseStation).

In addition, advances in capillary gel electrophoresis have also reduced the effort required to sequence DNA and such advances provide a rapid high resolution approach for sequencing DNA samples (Swerdlow and Gesteland, Nucleic Acids Res. 18:1415-1419 (1990); Smith, Nature 349:812-813 (1991); Luckey et al., Methods Enzymol. 218:154-172 (1993); Lu et al., J. Chromatog. A. 680:497-501 (1994); Carson et al., Anal. Chem. 65:3219-3226 (1993); Huang et al., Anal. Chem. 64:2149-2154 (1992); Kheterpal et al., Electrophoresis 17:1852-1859 (1996); Quesada and Zhang, Electrophoresis 17:1841-1851 (1996); Baba, Yakugaku Zasshi 117:265-281 (1997), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

ESTs longer than 150 nucleotides have been found to be useful for similarity searches and mapping (Adams et al., Science 252:1651-1656 (1991), herein incorporated by reference). ESTs, which can represent copies of up to the full length transcript, may be partially or completely sequenced. Between 150-450 nucleotides of sequence information is usually generated as this is the length of sequence information that is routinely and reliably produced using single run sequence data. Typically, only single run sequence data is obtained from the cDNA library (Adams et al., Science 252:1651-1656 (1991). Automated single run sequencing typically results in an approximately 2-3% error or base ambiguity rate (Boguski et al., Nature Genetics 4:332-333 (1993), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

EST databases have been constructed or partially constructed from, for example, C. elegans (McCombrie et al., Nature Genetics 1:124-131 (1992)), human liver cell line HepG2 (Okubo et al., Nature Genetics 2:173-179 (1992)), human brain RNA (Adams et al., Science 252:1651-1656 (1991); Adams et al., Nature 355:632-635 (1992)), Arabidopsis, (Newman et al., Plant Physiol. 106:1241-1255 (1994)); and rice (Kurata et al., Nature Genetics 8:365-372 (1994)).

III. Sequence Comparisons

A characteristic feature of a DNA sequence is that it can be compared with other DNA sequences. Sequence comparisons can be undertaken by determining the similarity of the test or query sequence with sequences in publicly available or proprietary databases (“similarity analysis”) or by searching for certain motifs (“intrinsic sequence analysis”)(e.g. cis elements)(Coulson, Trends in Biotechnology 12:76-80 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference); Birren et al., Genome Analysis 1: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. 543-559 (1997), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Similarity analysis includes database search and alignment. Examples of public databases include the DNA Database of Japan (DDBJ) (available on the worldwide web at ddbj.nig.ac.jp); Genebank (available on the worldwide web at the ncbi website at: /Web/Search/Index.html); and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory Nucleic Acid Sequence Database (EMBL) (available on the worldwide web at ebi.ac.uk/ebi_docs/embl_db/embl-db.html). Other appropriate databases include dbEST (available on the worldwide web at the ncbi website at:/dbEST /index.html), SwisProt (available on the worldwide web at ebi.ac.uk/ebi_docs/swisprot_db/swisshome.html), PIR (available on the worldwide web at nbrt.georgetown.edu/pir), and The Institute for Genome Research (available on the worldwide web at tigr.org/tdb/tdb.html).

A number of different search algorithms have been developed, one example of which are the suite of programs referred to as BLAST programs. There are five implementations of BLAST, three designed for nucleotide sequences queries (BLASTN, BLASTX and TBLASTX) and two designed for protein sequence queries (BLASTP and TBLASTN) (Coulson, Trends in Biotechnology 12:76-80 (1994); Birren et al, Genome Analysis 1, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. 543-559 (1997)).

BLASTN takes a nucleotide sequence (the query sequence) and its reverse complement and searches them against a nucleotide sequence database. BLASTN was designed for speed, not maximum sensitivity and may not find distantly related coding sequences. BLASTX takes a nucleotide sequence, translates it in three forward reading frames and three reverse complement reading frames and then compares the six translations against a protein sequence database. BLASTX is useful for sensitive analysis of preliminary (single-pass) sequence data and is tolerant of sequencing errors (Gish and States, Nature Genetics 3:266-272 (1993), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). BLASTN and BLASTX may be used in concert for analyzing EST data (Coulson, Trends in Biotechnology 12:76-80 (1994); Birren et al., Genome Analysis 1:543-559 (1997)).

Given a coding nucleotide sequence and the protein it encodes, it is often preferable to use the protein as the query sequence to search a database because of the greatly increased sensitivity to detect more subtle relationships. This is due to the larger alphabet of proteins (20 amino acids) compared with the alphabet of nucleic acid sequences (4 bases), where it is far easier to obtain a match by chance. In addition, with nucleotide alignments, only a match (positive score) or a mismatch (negative score) is obtained, but with proteins, the presence of conservative amino acid substitutions can be taken into account. Here, a mismatch may yield a positive score if the non-identical residue has physical/chemical properties similar to the one it replaced. Various scoring matrices are used to supply the substitution scores of all possible amino acid pairs. A general purpose scoring system is the BLOSUM62 matrix (Henikoff and Henikoff, Proteins 17:49-61 (1993), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), which is currently the default choice for BLAST programs. BLOSUM62 is tailored for alignments of moderately diverged sequences and thus may not yield the best results under all conditions. Altschul, J. Mol. Biol. 36:290-300 (1993), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference, describes a combination of three matrices to cover all contingencies. This may improve sensitivity, but at the expense of slower searches. In practice, a single BLOSUM62 matrix is often used but others (PAM40 and PAM250) may be attempted when additional analysis is necessary. Low PAM matrices are directed at detecting very strong but localized sequence similarities, whereas high PAM matrices are directed at detecting long but weak alignments between very distantly related sequences.

Homologues in other organisms are available that can be used for comparative sequence analysis. Multiple alignments are performed to study similarities and differences in a group of related sequences. CLUSTAL W is a multiple sequence alignment package that performs progressive multiple sequence alignments based on the method of Feng and Doolittle, J. Mol. Evol. 25:351-360 (1987), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference. Each pair of sequences is aligned and the distance between each pair is calculated; from this distance matrix, a guide tree is calculated and all of the sequences are progressively aligned based on this tree. A feature of the program is its sensitivity to the effect of gaps on the alignment; gap penalties are varied to encourage the insertion of gaps in probable loop regions instead of in the middle of structured regions. Users can specify gap penalties, choose between a number of scoring matrices, or supply their own scoring matrix for both pairwise alignments and multiple alignments. CLUSTAL W for UNIX and VMS systems is available by anonymous ftp at: ebi.ac.uk. Another program is MACAW (Schuler et al., Proteins Struct. Func. Genet. 9:180-190 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference, for which both Macintosh and Microsoft Windows versions are available. MACAW uses a graphical interface, provides a choice of several alignment algorithms and is available by anonymous ftp at the ncbi website at: nlm.nih.gov (directory/pub/macaw).

Sequence motifs are derived from multiple alignments and can be used to examine individual sequences or an entire database for subtle patterns. With motifs, it is sometimes possible to detect distant relationships that may not be demonstrable based on comparisons of primary sequences alone. Currently, the largest collection of sequence motifs in the world is PROSITE (Bairoch and Bucher, Nucleic Acid Research 22:3583-3589 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). PROSITE may be accessed via either the ExPASy server on the World Wide Web or anonymous ftp site. Many commercial sequence analysis packages also provide search programs that use PROSITE data.

A resource for searching protein motifs is the BLOCKS E-mail server developed by Henikoff, Trends Biochem Sci. 18:267-268 (1993), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Henikoff and Henikoff, Nucleic Acid Research 19:6565-6572 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Henikoff and Henikoff, Proteins 17:49-61 (1993). BLOCKS searches a protein or nucleotide sequence against a database of protein motifs or “blocks.” Blocks are defined as short, ungapped multiple alignments that represent highly conserved protein patterns. The blocks themselves are derived from entries in PROSITE as well as other sources. Either a protein query or a nucleotide query can be submitted to the BLOCKS server; if a nucleotide sequence is submitted, the sequence is translated in all six reading frames and motifs are sought for these conceptual translations. Once the search is completed, the server will return a ranked list of significant matches, along with an alignment of the query sequence to the matched BLOCKS entries.

Conserved protein domains can be represented by two-dimensional matrices, which measure either the frequency or probability of the occurrences of each amino acid residue and deletions or insertions in each position of the domain. This type of model, when used to search against protein databases, is sensitive and usually yields more accurate results than simple motif searches. Two popular implementations of this approach are profile searches such as GCG program ProfileSearch and Hidden Markov Models (HMMs)(Krough et al., J. Mol. Biol. 235:1501-1531, (1994); Eddy, Current Opinion in Structural Biology 6:361-365, (1996), both of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). In both cases, a large number of common protein domains have been converted into profiles, as present in the PROSITE library, or HHM models, as in the Pfam protein domain library (Sonnhammer et al., Proteins 28:405-420 (1997), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Pfam contains more than 500 HMM models for enzymes, transcription factors, signal transduction molecules and structural proteins. Protein databases can be queried with these profiles or HMM models, which will identify proteins containing the domain of interest. For example, HMMSW or HMMFS, two programs in a public domain package called HMMER (Sonnhammer et al., Proteins 28:405-420 (1997)) can be used.

PROSITE and BLOCKS represent collected families of protein motifs. Thus, searching these databases entails submitting a single sequence to determine whether or not that sequence is similar to the members of an established family. Programs working in the opposite direction compare a collection of sequences with individual entries in the protein databases. An example of such a program is the Motif Search Tool, or MoST (Tatusov et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 91:12091-12095 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). On the basis of an aligned set of input sequences, a weight matrix is calculated by using one of four methods (selected by the user). A weight matrix is simply a representation, position by position of how likely a particular amino acid will appear. The calculated weight matrix is then used to search the databases. To increase sensitivity, newly found sequences are added to the original data set, the weight matrix is recalculated and the search is performed again. This procedure continues until no new sequences are found.

U.S.A.) and Asgrow A3237 (Asgrow Seed Company, Des Moines, Iowa U.S.A.).

A subset of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention includes nucleic acid molecules that are marker molecules. Another subset of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention include nucleic acid molecules that encode a protein or fragment thereof. Another subset of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention are EST molecules.

Fragment nucleic acid molecules may encode significant portion(s) of, or indeed most of, these nucleic acid molecules. Alternatively, the fragments may comprise smaller oligonucleotides (having from about 15 to about 250 nucleotide residues and more preferably, about 15 to about 30 nucleotide residues).

As used herein, an agent, be it a naturally occurring molecule or otherwise may be “substantially purified,” if desired, such that one or more molecules that is or may be present in a naturally occurring preparation containing that molecule will have been removed or will be present at a lower concentration than that at which it would normally be found.

The agents of the present invention will preferably be “biologically active” with respect to either a structural attribute, such as the capacity of a nucleic acid to hybridize to another nucleic acid molecule, or the ability of a protein to be bound by an antibody (or to compete with another molecule for such binding). Alternatively, such an attribute may be catalytic and thus involve the capacity of the agent to mediate a chemical reaction or response.

The agents of the present invention may also be recombinant. As used herein, the term recombinant means any agent (e.g. DNA, peptide etc.), that is, or results, however indirect, from human manipulation of a nucleic acid molecule.

It is understood that the agents of the present invention may be labeled with reagents that facilitate detection of the agent (e.g. fluorescent labels, Prober et al., Science 238:336-340 (1987); Albarella et al., EP 144914; chemical labels, Sheldon et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,582,789; Albarella et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,563,417; modified bases, Miyoshi et al., EP 119448, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety).

It is further understood, that the present invention provides recombinant bacterial, mammalian, microbial, insect, fungal and plant cells and viral constructs comprising the agents of the present invention (See, for example, Uses of the Agents of the Invention, Section (a) Plant Constructs and Plant Transformants; Section (b) Fungal Constructs and Fungal Transformants; Section (c) Mammalian Constructs and Transformed Mammalian Cells; Section (d) Insect Constructs and Transformed Insect Cells; and Section (e) Bacterial Constructs and Transformed Bacterial Cells).

Nucleic acid molecules or fragments thereof of the present invention are capable of specifically hybridizing to other nucleic acid molecules under certain circumstances. As used herein, two nucleic acid molecules are said to be capable of specifically hybridizing to one another if the two molecules are capable of forming an anti-parallel, double-stranded nucleic acid structure. A nucleic acid molecule is said to be the “complement” of another nucleic acid molecule if they exhibit complete complementarity. As used herein, molecules are said to exhibit “complete complementarity” when every nucleotide of one of the molecules is complementary to a nucleotide of the other. Two molecules are said to be “minimally complementary” if they can hybridize to one another with sufficient stability to permit them to remain annealed to one another under at least conventional “low-stringency” conditions. Similarly, the molecules are said to be “complementary” if they can hybridize to one another with sufficient stability to permit them to remain annealed to one another under conventional “high-stringency” conditions. Conventional stringency conditions are described by Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Ed., Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1989) and by Haymes et al., Nucleic Acid Hybridization, A Practical Approach, IRL Press, Washington, D.C. (1985), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference. Departures from complete complementarity are therefore permissible, as long as such departures do not completely preclude the capacity of the molecules to form a double-stranded structure. Thus, in order for a nucleic acid molecule to serve as a primer or probe it need only be sufficiently complementary in sequence to be able to form a stable double-stranded structure under the particular solvent and salt concentrations employed.

Appropriate stringency conditions which promote DNA hybridization, for example, 6.0×sodium chloride/sodium citrate (SSC) at about 45° C., followed by a wash of 2.0×SSC at 50° C., are known to those skilled in the art or can be found in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, N.Y. (1989), 6.3.1-6.3.6. For example, the salt concentration in the wash step can be selected from a low stringency of about 2.0×SSC at 50° C. to a high stringency of about 0.2×SSC at 50° C. In addition, the temperature in the wash step can be increased from low stringency conditions at room temperature, about 22° C., to high stringency conditions at about 65° C. Both temperature and salt may be varied, or either the temperature or the salt concentration may be held constant while the other variable is changed.

In a preferred embodiment, a nucleic acid of the present invention will specifically hybridize to one or more of the nucleic acid molecules set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 or complements thereof under moderately stringent conditions, for example at about 2.0×SSC and about 65° C.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, a nucleic acid of the present invention will include those nucleic acid molecules that specifically hybridize to one or more of the nucleic acid molecules set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 or complements thereof under high stringency conditions such as 0.2×SSC and about 65° C.

In a preferred embodiment, nucleic acid molecules having SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 or complements and fragments of either can be utilized to obtain such homologues.

The degeneracy of the genetic code, which allows different nucleic acid sequences to code for the same protein or peptide, is known in the literature. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,757,006, the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

In an aspect of the present invention, one or more of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention differ in nucleic acid sequence from those encoding a maize or a soybean protein or fragment thereof in SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 due to the degeneracy in the genetic code in that they encode the same protein but differ in nucleic acid sequence.

In another further aspect of the present invention, one or more of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention differ in nucleic acid sequence from those encoding a maize or a soybean protein or fragment thereof in SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 due to fact that the different nucleic acid sequence encodes a protein having one or more conservative amino acid residue. Examples of conservative substitutions are set forth in Table 1. It is understood that codons capable of coding for such conservative substitutions are known in the art.

In a further aspect of the present invention, one or more of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention differ in nucleic acid sequence from those encoding a maize or a soybean protein or fragment thereof set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 or fragment thereof due to the fact that one or more codons encoding an amino acid has been substituted for a codon that encodes a nonessential substitution of the amino acid originally encoded.

(ii) Nucleic Acid Molecule Markers and Probes

One aspect of the present invention concerns markers that include nucleic acid molecules SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 or complements thereof or fragments of either that can act as markers or other nucleic acid molecules of the present invention that can act as markers. Genetic markers of the present invention include “dominant” or “codominant” markers “Codominant markers” reveal the presence of two or more alleles (two per diploid individual) at a locus. “Dominant markers” reveal the presence of only a single allele per locus. The presence of the dominant marker phenotype (e.g., a band of DNA) is an indication that one allele is present in either the homozygous or heterozygous condition. The absence of the dominant marker phenotype (e.g. absence of a DNA band) is merely evidence that “some other” undefined allele is present. In the case of populations where individuals are predominantly homozygous and loci are predominately dimorphic, dominant and codominant markers can be equally valuable. As populations become more heterozygous and multi-allelic, codominant markers often become more informative of the genotype than dominant markers. Marker molecules can be, for example, capable of detecting polymorphisms such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

SNPs are single base changes in genomic DNA sequence. They occur at greater frequency and are spaced with a greater uniformly throughout a genome than other reported forms of polymorphism. The greater frequency and uniformity of SNPs means that there is greater probability that such a polymorphism will be found near or in a genetic locus of interest than would be the case for other polymorphisms. SNPs are located in protein-coding regions and noncoding regions of a genome. Some of these SNPs may result in defective or variant protein expression (e.g., as a result of mutations or defective splicing). Analysis (genotyping) of characterized SNPs can require only a plus/minus assay rather than a lengthy measurement, permitting easier automation.

SNPs can be characterized using any of a variety of methods. Such methods include the direct or indirect sequencing of the site, the use of restriction enzymes (Botstein et al., Am. J. Hum. Genet. 32:314-331 (1980), the entirety of which is herein incorporated reference; Konieczny and Ausubel, Plant J. 4:403-410 (1993), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), enzymatic and chemical mismatch assays (Myers et al., Nature 313:495-498 (1985), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), allele-specific PCR (Newton et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 17:2503-2516 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Wu et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 86:2757-2760 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), ligase chain reaction (Barany, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 88:189-193 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis (Labrune et al., Am. J. Hum. Genet. 48: 1115-1120 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), primer-directed nucleotide incorporation assays (Kuppuswami et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:1143-1147 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), dideoxy fingerprinting (Sarkar et al., Genomics 13:441-443 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), solid-phase ELISA-based oligonucleotide ligation assays (Nikiforov et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 22:4167-4175 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), oligonucleotide fluorescence-quenching assays (Livak et al., PCR Methods Appl. 4:357-362 (1995), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), 5′-nuclease allele-specific hybridization TaqMan assay (Livak et al., Nature Genet. 9:341-342 (1995), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), template-directed dye-terminator incorporation (TDI) assay (Chen and Kwok, Nucl. Acids Res. 25:347-353 (1997), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), allele-specific molecular beacon assay (Tyagi et al., Nature Biotech. 16: 49-53 (1998), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), PinPoint assay (Haff and Smirnov, Genome Res. 7: 378-388 (1997), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) and dCAPS analysis (Neff et al., Plant J. 14:387-392 (1998), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Additional markers, such as AFLP markers, RFLP markers and RAPD markers, can be utilized (Walton, Seed World 22-29 (July, 1993), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Burow and Blake, Molecular Dissection of Complex Traits, 13-29, Paterson (ed.), CRC Press, New York (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). DNA markers can be developed from nucleic acid molecules using restriction endonucleases, the PCR and/or DNA sequence information. RFLP markers result from single base changes or insertions/deletions. These codominant markers are highly abundant in plant genomes, have a medium level of polymorphism and are developed by a combination of restriction endonuclease digestion and Southern blotting hybridization. CAPS are similarly developed from restriction nuclease digestion but only of specific PCR products. These markers are also codominant, have a medium level of polymorphism and are highly abundant in the genome. The CAPS result from single base changes and insertions/deletions.

Another marker type, RAPDs, are developed from DNA amplification with random primers and result from single base changes and insertions/deletions in plant genomes. They are dominant markers with a medium level of polymorphisms and are highly abundant. AFLP markers require using the PCR on a subset of restriction fragments from extended adapter primers. These markers are both dominant and codominant are highly abundant in genomes and exhibit a medium level of polymorphism.

SSRs require DNA sequence information. These codominant markers result from repeat length changes, are highly polymorphic and do not exhibit as high a degree of abundance in the genome as CAPS, AFLPs and RAPDs SNPs also require DNA sequence information. These codominant markers result from single base substitutions. They are highly abundant and exhibit a medium of polymorphism (Rafalski et al., In: Nonmammalian Genomic Analysis, Birren and Lai (ed.), Academic Press, San Diego, Calif., pp. 75-134 (1996), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). It is understood that a nucleic acid molecule of the present invention may be used as a marker.

A PCR probe is a nucleic acid molecule capable of initiating a polymerase activity while in a double-stranded structure to with another nucleic acid. Various methods for determining the structure of PCR probes and PCR techniques exist in the art. Computer generated searches using programs such as Primer3 available on the worldwide web at genome.wi.mit.edu/cgi-bin/primer/primer3.cgi), STSPipeline available on the worldwide web at genome.wi.mit.edu/cgi-bin/www-STS_Pipeline), or GeneUp (Pesole et al., BioTechniques 25:112-123 (1998) the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), for example, can be used to identify potential PCR primers.

It is understood that a fragment of one or more of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention may be a probe and specifically a PCR probe.

A class of agents comprises one or more of the protein or fragments thereof or peptide molecules encoded by SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 or one or more of the protein or fragment thereof and peptide molecules encoded by other nucleic acid agents of the present invention. As used herein, the term “protein molecule” or “peptide molecule” includes any molecule that comprises five or more amino acids. It is well known in the art that proteins may undergo modification, including post-translational modifications, such as, but not limited to, disulfide bond formation, glycosylation, phosphorylation, or oligomerization. Thus, as used herein, the term “protein molecule” or “peptide molecule” includes any protein molecule that is modified by any biological or non-biological process. The terms “amino acid” and “amino acids” refer to all naturally occurring L-amino acids. This definition is meant to include norleucine, ornithine, homocysteine and homoserine.

Non-limiting examples of the protein or fragment thereof of the present invention include a maize or a soybean sucrose pathway protein or fragment thereof; a maize or a soybean triose phosphate isomerase or fragment thereof, a maize or a soybean fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase or fragment thereof, a maize or a soybean fructose 1,6-bisphosphate or fragment thereof, a maize or a soybean fructose 6-phosphate 2-kinase or fragment thereof, a maize or a soybean phosphoglucoisomerase or fragment thereof, a maize or a soybean vacuolar H⁺ translocating-pyrophosphatase or fragment thereof, a maize or a soybean pyrophosphate-dependent fructose-6-phosphate phosphotransferase or fragment thereof, a maize or a soybean invertase or fragment thereof, a maize or a soybean sucrose synthase or fragment thereof, a maize or a soybean hexokinase or fragment thereof, a maize or a soybean fructokinase or fragment thereof, a maize or a soybean NDP-kinase or fragment thereof, a maize or a soybean glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase or fragment thereof, a maize or a soybean phosphoglucomutase or fragment thereof and a maize or a soybean UDP-glucose pyrophophorylase or fragment thereof.

One or more of the protein or fragment of peptide molecules may be produced via chemical synthesis, or more preferably, by expressing in a suitable bacterial or eucaryotic host. Suitable methods for expression are described by Sambrook et al., (In: Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Edition, Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1989)), or similar texts. For example, the protein may be expressed in, for example, Uses of the Agents of the Invention, Section (a) Plant Constructs and Plant Transformants; Section (b) Fungal Constructs and Fungal Transformants; Section (c) Mammalian Constructs and Transformed Mammalian Cells; Section (d) Insect Constructs and Transformed Insect Cells; and Section (e) Bacterial Constructs and Transformed Bacterial Cells.

A “protein fragment” is a peptide or polypeptide molecule whose amino acid sequence comprises a subset of the amino acid sequence of that protein. A protein or fragment thereof that comprises one or more additional peptide regions not derived from that protein is a “fusion” protein. Such molecules may be derivatized to contain carbohydrate or other moieties (such as keyhole limpet hemocyanin, etc.). Fusion protein or peptide molecules of the present invention are preferably produced via recombinant means.

Another class of agents comprise protein or peptide molecules or fragments or fusions thereof encoded by SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 or complements thereof in which conservative, non-essential or non-relevant amino acid residues have been added, replaced or deleted. Computerized means for designing modifications in protein structure are known in the art (Dahiyat and Mayo, Science 278:82-87 (1997), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

The protein molecules of the present invention include plant homologue proteins. An example of such a homologue is a homologue protein of a non-maize or non-soybean plant species, that include but not limited to alfalfa, Arabidopsis, barley, Brassica, broccoli, cabbage, citrus, cotton, garlic, oat, oilseed rape, onion, canola, flax, an ornamental plant, pea, peanut, pepper, potato, rice, rye, sorghum, strawberry, sugarcane, sugarbeet, tomato, wheat, poplar, pine, fir, eucalyptus, apple, lettuce, lentils, grape, banana, tea, turf grasses, sunflower, oil palm, Phaseolus etc. Particularly preferred non-maize or non-soybean for use for the isolation of homologs would include, Arabidopsis, barley, cotton, oat, oilseed rape, rice, canola, ornamentals, sugarcane, sugarbeet, tomato, potato, wheat and turf grasses. Such a homologue can be obtained by any of a variety of methods. Most preferably, as indicated above, one or more of the disclosed sequences (SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 or complements thereof) will be used to define a pair of primers that may be used to isolate the homologue-encoding nucleic acid molecules from any desired species. Such molecules can be expressed to yield homologues by recombinant means.

(c) Antibodies

One aspect of the present invention concerns antibodies, single-chain antigen binding molecules, or other proteins that specifically bind to one or more of the protein or peptide molecules of the present invention and their homologues, fusions or fragments. Such antibodies may be used to quantitatively or qualitatively detect the protein or peptide molecules of the present invention. As used herein, an antibody or peptide is said to “specifically bind” to a protein or peptide molecule of the present invention if such binding is not competitively inhibited by the presence of non-related molecules.

Nucleic acid molecules that encode all or part of the protein of the present invention can be expressed, via recombinant means, to yield protein or peptides that can in turn be used to elicit antibodies that are capable of binding the expressed protein or peptide. Such antibodies may be used in immunoassays for that protein. Such protein-encoding molecules, or their fragments may be a “fusion” molecule (i.e., a part of a larger nucleic acid molecule) such that, upon expression, a fusion protein is produced. It is understood that any of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention may be expressed, via recombinant means, to yield proteins or peptides encoded by these nucleic acid molecules.

The antibodies that specifically bind proteins and protein fragments of the present invention may be polyclonal or monoclonal and may comprise intact immunoglobulins, or antigen binding portions of immunoglobulins fragments (such as (F(ab′), F(ab′)₂), or single-chain immunoglobulins producible, for example, via recombinant means. It is understood that practitioners are familiar with the standard resource materials which describe specific conditions and procedures for the construction, manipulation and isolation of antibodies (see, for example, Harlow and Lane, In: Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Murine monoclonal antibodies are particularly preferred. BALB/c mice are preferred for this purpose, however, equivalent strains may also be used. The animals are preferably immunized with approximately 25 μg of purified protein (or fragment thereof) that has been emulsified in a suitable adjuvant (such as TiterMax adjuvant (Vaxcel, Norcross, Ga.)). Immunization is preferably conducted at two intramuscular sites, one intraperitoneal site and one subcutaneous site at the base of the tail. An additional i.v. injection of approximately 25 μg of antigen is preferably given in normal saline three weeks later. After approximately 11 days following the second injection, the mice may be bled and the blood screened for the presence of anti-protein or peptide antibodies. Preferably, a direct binding Enzyme-Linked Immunoassay (ELISA) is employed for this purpose.

More preferably, the mouse having the highest antibody titer is given a third i.v. injection of approximately 25 μg of the same protein or fragment. The splenic leukocytes from this animal may be recovered 3 days later and then permitted to fuse, most preferably, using polyethylene glycol, with cells of a suitable myeloma cell line (such as, for example, the P3×63Ag8.653 myeloma cell line). Hybridoma cells are selected by culturing the cells under “HAT” (hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymine) selection for about one week. The resulting clones may then be screened for their capacity to produce monoclonal antibodies (“mAbs”), preferably by direct ELISA.

In one embodiment, anti-protein or peptide monoclonal antibodies are isolated using a fusion of a protein or peptide of the present invention, or conjugate of a protein or peptide of the present invention, as immunogens. Thus, for example, a group of mice can be immunized using a fusion protein emulsified in Freund's complete adjuvant (e.g. approximately 50 μg of antigen per immunization). At three week intervals, an identical amount of antigen is emulsified in Freund's incomplete adjuvant and used to immunize the animals. Ten days following the third immunization, serum samples are taken and evaluated for the presence of antibody. If antibody titers are too low, a fourth booster can be employed. Polysera capable of binding the protein or peptide can also be obtained using this method.

In a preferred procedure for obtaining monoclonal antibodies, the spleens of the above-described immunized mice are removed, disrupted and immune splenocytes are isolated over a ficoll gradient. The isolated splenocytes are fused, using polyethylene glycol with BALB/c-derived HGPRT (hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase) deficient P3×63×Ag8.653 plasmacytoma cells. The fused cells are plated into 96 well microtiter plates and screened for hybridoma fusion cells by their capacity to grow in culture medium supplemented with hypothanthine, aminopterin and thymidine for approximately 2-3 weeks.

Hybridoma cells that arise from such incubation are preferably screened for their capacity to produce an immunoglobulin that binds to a protein of interest. An indirect ELISA may be used for this purpose. In brief, the supernatants of hybridomas are incubated in microtiter wells that contain immobilized protein. After washing, the titer of bound immunoglobulin can be determined using, for example, a goat anti-mouse antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase. After additional washing, the amount of immobilized enzyme is determined (for example through the use of a chromogenic substrate). Such screening is performed as quickly as possible after the identification of the hybridoma in order to ensure that a desired clone is not overgrown by non-secreting neighbor cells. Desirably, the fusion plates are screened several times since the rates of hybridoma growth vary. In a preferred sub-embodiment, a different antigenic form may be used to screen the hybridoma. Thus, for example, the splenocytes may be immunized with one immunogen, but the resulting hybridomas can be screened using a different immunogen. It is understood that any of the protein or peptide molecules of the present invention may be used to raise antibodies.

As discussed below, such antibody molecules or their fragments may be used for diagnostic purposes. Where the antibodies are intended for diagnostic purposes, it may be desirable to derivatize them, for example with a ligand group (such as biotin) or a detectable marker group (such as a fluorescent group, a radioisotope or an enzyme).

The ability to produce antibodies that bind the protein or peptide molecules of the present invention permits the identification of mimetic compounds of those molecules. A “mimetic compound” is a compound that is not that compound, or a fragment of that compound, but which nonetheless exhibits an ability to specifically bind to antibodies directed against that compound.

Nucleic acid molecules and fragments thereof of the present invention may be employed to obtain other nucleic acid molecules from the same species (e.g., ESTs or fragment thereof from maize may be utilized to obtain other nucleic acid molecules from maize). Such nucleic acid molecules include the nucleic acid molecules that encode the complete coding sequence of a protein and promoters and flanking sequences of such molecules. In addition, such nucleic acid molecules include nucleic acid molecules that encode for other isozymes or gene family members. Such molecules can be readily obtained by using the above-described nucleic acid molecules or fragments thereof to screen cDNA or genomic libraries obtained from maize or soybean. Methods for forming such libraries are well known in the art.

Nucleic acid molecules and fragments thereof of the present invention may also be employed to obtain nucleic acid homologues. Such homologues include the nucleic acid molecule of other plants or other organisms (e.g., alfalfa, Arabidopsis, barley, Brassica, broccoli, cabbage, citrus, cotton, garlic, oat, oilseed rape, onion, canola, flax, an ornamental plant, pea, peanut, pepper, potato, rice, rye, sorghum, strawberry, sugarcane, sugarbeet, tomato, wheat, poplar, pine, fir, eucalyptus, apple, lettuce, lentils, grape, banana, tea, turf grasses, sunflower, oil palm, Phaseolus, etc.) including the nucleic acid molecules that encode, in whole or in part, protein homologues of other plant species or other organisms, sequences of genetic elements such as promoters and transcriptional regulatory elements. Such molecules can be readily obtained by using the above-described nucleic acid molecules or fragments thereof to screen cDNA or genomic libraries obtained from such plant species. Methods for forming such libraries are well known in the art. Such homologue molecules may differ in their nucleotide sequences from those found in one or more of SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 or complements thereof because complete complementarity is not needed for stable hybridization. The nucleic acid molecules of the present invention therefore also include molecules that, although capable of specifically hybridizing with the nucleic acid molecules, may lack “complete complementarity.”

Any of a variety of methods may be used to obtain one or more of the above-described nucleic acid molecules (Zamechik et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 83:4143-4146 (1986), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Goodchild et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 85:5507-5511 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Wickstrom et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 85:1028-1032 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Holt et al., Molec. Cell. Biol. 8:963-973 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Gerwirtz et al., Science 242:1303-1306 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Anfossi et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.

Automated nucleic acid synthesizers may be employed for this purpose. In lieu of such synthesis, the disclosed nucleic acid molecules may be used to define a pair of primers that can be used with the polymerase chain reaction (Mullis et al., Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 51:263-273 (1986); Erlich et al., European Patent 50,424; European Patent 84,796; European Patent 258,017; European Patent 237,362; Mullis, European Patent 201,184; Mullis et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,202; Erlich, U.S. Pat. No. 4,582,788; and Saiki et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,194, all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety) to amplify and obtain any desired nucleic acid molecule or fragment.

Promoter sequence(s) and other genetic elements, including but not limited to transcriptional regulatory flanking sequences, associated with one or more of the disclosed nucleic acid sequences can also be obtained using the disclosed nucleic acid sequence provided herein. In one embodiment, such sequences are obtained by incubating EST nucleic acid molecules or preferably fragments thereof with members of genomic libraries (e.g. maize and soybean) and recovering clones that hybridize to the EST nucleic acid molecule or fragment thereof. In a second embodiment, methods of “chromosome walking,” or inverse PCR may be used to obtain such sequences (Frohman et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 85:8998-9002 (1988); Ohara et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 86:5673-5677 (1989); Pang et al., Biotechniques 22:1046-1048 (1977); Huang et al., Methods Mol. Biol. 69:89-96 (1997); Huang et al., Method Mol. Biol. 67:287-294 (1997); Benkel et al., Genet. Anal. 13:123-127 (1996); Hartl et al., Methods Mol. Biol. 58:293-301 (1996), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

The nucleic acid molecules of the present invention may be used to isolate promoters of cell enhanced, cell specific, tissue enhanced, tissue specific, developmentally or environmentally regulated expression profiles. Isolation and functional analysis of the 5′ flanking promoter sequences of these genes from genomic libraries, for example, using genomic screening methods and PCR techniques would result in the isolation of useful promoters and transcriptional regulatory elements. These methods are known to those of skill in the art and have been described (See, for example, Birren et al., Genome Analysis: Analyzing DNA, 1, (1997), Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Promoters obtained utilizing the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention could also be modified to affect their control characteristics. Examples of such modifications would include but are not limited to enhanced sequences as reported in Uses of the Agents of the Invention, Section (a) Plant Constructs and Plant Transformants. Such genetic elements could be used to enhance gene expression of new and existing traits for crop improvements.

In one sub-aspect, such an analysis is conducted by determining the presence and/or identity of polymorphism(s) by one or more of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention and more preferably one or more of the EST nucleic acid molecule or fragment thereof which are associated with a phenotype, or a predisposition to that phenotype.

Any of a variety of molecules can be used to identify such polymorphism(s). In one embodiment, one or more of the EST nucleic acid molecules (or a sub-fragment thereof) may be employed as a marker nucleic acid molecule to identify such polymorphism(s). Alternatively, such polymorphisms can be detected through the use of a marker nucleic acid molecule or a marker protein that is genetically linked to (i.e., a polynucleotide that co-segregates with) such polymorphism(s).

In an alternative embodiment, such polymorphisms can be detected through the use of a marker nucleic acid molecule that is physically linked to such polymorphism(s). For this purpose, marker nucleic acid molecules comprising a nucleotide sequence of a polynucleotide located within 1 mb of the polymorphism(s) and more preferably within 100 kb of the polymorphism(s) and most preferably within 10 kb of the polymorphism(s) can be employed.

The genomes of animals and plants naturally undergo spontaneous mutation in the course of their continuing evolution (Gusella, Ann. Rev. Biochem. 55:831-854 (1986)). A “polymorphism” is a variation or difference in the sequence of the gene or its flanking regions that arises in some of the members of a species. The variant sequence and the “original” sequence co-exist in the species' population. In some instances, such co-existence is in stable or quasi-stable equilibrium.

A polymorphism is thus said to be “allelic,” in that, due to the existence of the polymorphism, some members of a species may have the original sequence (i.e., the original “allele”) whereas other members may have the variant sequence (i.e., the variant “allele”). In the simplest case, only one variant sequence may exist and the polymorphism is thus said to be di-allelic. In other cases, the species' population may contain multiple alleles and the polymorphism is termed tri-allelic, etc. A single gene may have multiple different unrelated polymorphisms. For example, it may have a di-allelic polymorphism at one site and a multi-allelic polymorphism at another site.

The variation that defines the polymorphism may range from a single nucleotide variation to the insertion or deletion of extended regions within a gene. In some cases, the DNA sequence variations are in regions of the genome that are characterized by short tandem repeats (STRs) that include tandem di- or tri-nucleotide repeated motifs of nucleotides. Polymorphisms characterized by such tandem repeats are referred to as “variable number tandem repeat” (“VNTR”) polymorphisms. VNTRs have been used in identity analysis (Weber, U.S. Pat. No. 5,075,217; Armour et al., FEBS Lett. 307:113-115 (1992); Jones et al., Eur. J. Haematol. 39:144-147 (1987); Horn et al., PCT Patent Application WO91/14003; Jeffreys, European Patent Application 370,719; Jeffreys, U.S. Pat. No. 5,175,082; Jeffreys et al., Amer. J. Hum. Genet. 39:11-24 (1986); Jeffreys et al., Nature 316:76-79 (1985); Gray et al., Proc. R. Acad. Soc. Lond. 243:241-253 (1991); Moore et al., Genomics 10:654-660 (1991); Jeffreys et al., Anim. Genet. 18:1-15 (1987); Hillel et al., Anim. Genet. 20:145-155 (1989); Hillel et al., Genet. 124:783-789 (1990), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

The detection of polymorphic sites in a sample of DNA may be facilitated through the use of nucleic acid amplification methods. Such methods specifically increase the concentration of polynucleotides that span the polymorphic site, or include that site and sequences located either distal or proximal to it. Such amplified molecules can be readily detected by gel electrophoresis or other means.

The most preferred method of achieving such amplification employs the polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) (Mullis et al., Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 51:263-273 (1986); Erlich et al., European Patent Appln. 50,424; European Patent Appln. 84,796; European Patent Application 258,017; European Patent Appln. 237,362; Mullis, European Patent Appln. 201,184; Mullis et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,202; Erlich, U.S. Pat. No. 4,582,788; and Saiki et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,194), using primer pairs that are capable of hybridizing to the proximal sequences that define a polymorphism in its double-stranded form.

In lieu of PCR, alternative methods, such as the “Ligase Chain Reaction” (“LCR”) may be used (Barany, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 88:189-193 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). LCR uses two pairs of oligonucleotide probes to exponentially amplify a specific target. The sequences of each pair of oligonucleotides is selected to permit the pair to hybridize to abutting sequences of the same strand of the target. Such hybridization forms a substrate for a template-dependent ligase. As with PCR, the resulting products thus serve as a template in subsequent cycles and an exponential amplification of the desired sequence is obtained.

LCR can be performed with oligonucleotides having the proximal and distal sequences of the same strand of a polymorphic site. In one embodiment, either oligonucleotide will be designed to include the actual polymorphic site of the polymorphism. In such an embodiment, the reaction conditions are selected such that the oligonucleotides can be ligated together only if the target molecule either contains or lacks the specific nucleotide that is complementary to the polymorphic site present on the oligonucleotide. Alternatively, the oligonucleotides may be selected such that they do not include the polymorphic site (see, Segev, PCT Application WO 90/01069, the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

The “Oligonucleotide Ligation Assay” (“OLA”) may alternatively be employed (Landegren et al., Science 241:1077-1080 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). The OLA protocol uses two oligonucleotides which are designed to be capable of hybridizing to abutting sequences of a single strand of a target. OLA, like LCR, is particularly suited for the detection of point mutations. Unlike LCR, however, OLA results in “linear” rather than exponential amplification of the target sequence.

Nickerson et al., have described a nucleic acid detection assay that combines attributes of PCR and OLA (Nickerson et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 87:8923-8927 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). In this method, PCR is used to achieve the exponential amplification of target DNA, which is then detected using OLA. In addition to requiring multiple and separate, processing steps, one problem associated with such combinations is that they inherit all of the problems associated with PCR and OLA.

Schemes based on ligation of two (or more) oligonucleotides in the presence of nucleic acid having the sequence of the resulting “di-oligonucleotide”, thereby amplifying the di-oligonucleotide, are also known (Wu et al., Genomics 4:560-569 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) and may be readily adapted to the purposes of the present invention.

Other known nucleic acid amplification procedures, such as allele-specific oligomers, branched DNA technology, transcription-based amplification systems, or isothermal amplification methods may also be used to amplify and analyze such polymorphisms (Malek et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,130,238; Davey et al., European Patent Application 329,822; Schuster et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,169,766; Miller et al., PCT Patent Application WO 89/06700; Kwoh et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 86:1173-1177 (1989); Gingeras et al., PCT Patent Application WO 88/10315; Walker et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 89:392-396 (1992), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

The identification of a polymorphism can be determined in a variety of ways. By correlating the presence or absence of it in a plant with the presence or absence of a phenotype, it is possible to predict the phenotype of that plant. If a polymorphism creates or destroys a restriction endonuclease cleavage site, or if it results in the loss or insertion of DNA (e.g., a VNTR polymorphism), it will alter the size or profile of the DNA fragments that are generated by digestion with that restriction endonuclease. As such, individuals that possess a variant sequence can be distinguished from those having the original sequence by restriction fragment analysis. Polymorphisms that can be identified in this manner are termed “restriction fragment length polymorphisms” (“RFLPs”). RFLPs have been widely used in human and plant genetic analyses (Glassberg, UK Patent Application 2135774; Skolnick et al., Cytogen. Cell Genet. 32:58-67 (1982); Botstein et al., Ann. J. Hum. Genet. 32:314-331 (1980); Fischer et al., (PCT Application WO90/13668); Uhlen, PCT Application WO90/11369).

Polymorphisms can also be identified by Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. SSCP is a method capable of identifying most sequence variations in a single strand of DNA, typically between 150 and 250 nucleotides in length (Elles, Methods in Molecular Medicine: Molecular Diagnosis of Genetic Diseases, Humana Press (1996), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference); Orita et al., Genomics 5:874-879 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Under denaturing conditions a single strand of DNA will adopt a conformation that is uniquely dependent on its sequence conformation. This conformation usually will be different, even if only a single base is changed. Most conformations have been reported to alter the physical configuration or size sufficiently to be detectable by electrophoresis. A number of protocols have been described for SSCP including, but not limited to, Lee et al., Anal. Biochem. 205:289-293 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Suzuki et al., Anal. Biochem. 192:82-84 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Lo et al., Nucleic Acids Research 20:1005-1009 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Sarkar et al., Genomics 13:441-443 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference. It is understood that one or more of the nucleic acids of the present invention, may be utilized as markers or probes to detect polymorphisms by SSCP analysis.

Polymorphisms may also be found using a DNA fingerprinting technique called amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), which is based on the selective PCR amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of genomic DNA to profile that DNA (Vos et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 23:4407-4414 (1995), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). This method allows for the specific co-amplification of high numbers of restriction fragments, which can be visualized by PCR without knowledge of the nucleic acid sequence.

AFLP employs basically three steps. Initially, a sample of genomic DNA is cut with restriction enzymes and oligonucleotide adapters are ligated to the restriction fragments of the DNA. The restriction fragments are then amplified using PCR by using the adapter and restriction sequence as target sites for primer annealing. The selective amplification is achieved by the use of primers that extend into the restriction fragments, amplifying only those fragments in which the primer extensions match the nucleotide flanking the restriction sites. These amplified fragments are then visualized on a denaturing polyacrylamide gel.

AFLP analysis has been performed on Salix (Beismann et al., Mol. Ecol. 6:989-993 (1997), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), Acinetobacter (Janssen et al., Int. J. Syst.

AFLP analysis has also been used for fingerprinting mRNA (Money et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 24:2616-2617 (1996), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Bachem et al., Plant J. 9:745-753 (1996), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). It is understood that one or more of the nucleic acids of the present invention, may be utilized as markers or probes to detect polymorphisms by AFLP analysis or for fingerprinting RNA.

Polymorphisms may also be found using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) (Williams et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 18:6531-6535 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) and cleaveable amplified polymorphic sequences (CAPS) (Lyamichev et al, Science 260:778-783 (1993), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). It is understood that one or more of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention, may be utilized as markers or probes to detect polymorphisms by RAPD or CAPS analysis.

Through genetic mapping, a fine scale linkage map can be developed using DNA markers and, then, a genomic DNA library of large-sized fragments can be screened with molecular markers linked to the desired trait. Molecular markers are advantageous for agronomic traits that are otherwise difficult to tag, such as resistance to pathogens, insects and nematodes, tolerance to abiotic stress, quality parameters and quantitative traits such as high yield potential.

The essential requirements for marker-assisted selection in a plant breeding program are: (1) the marker(s) should co-segregate or be closely linked with the desired trait; (2) an efficient means of screening large populations for the molecular marker(s) should be available; and (3) the screening technique should have high reproducibility across laboratories and preferably be economical to use and be user-friendly.

The genetic linkage of marker molecules can be established by a gene mapping model such as, without limitation, the flanking marker model reported by Lander and Botstein, Genetics 121:185-199 (1989) and the interval mapping, based on maximum likelihood methods described by Lander and Botstein, Genetics 121:185-199 (1989) and implemented in the software package MAPMAKER/QTL (Lincoln and Lander, Mapping Genes Controlling Quantitative Traits Using MAPMAKER/QTL, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Massachusetts, (1990). Additional software includes Qgene, Version 2.23 (1996), Department of Plant Breeding and Biometry, 266 Emerson Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., the manual of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). Use of Qgene software is a particularly preferred approach.

A maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) for the presence of a marker is calculated, together with an MLE assuming no QTL effect, to avoid false positives. A log₁₀ of an odds ratio (LOD) is then calculated as: LOD=log₁₀ (MLE for the presence of a QTL/MLE given no linked QTL).

The LOD score essentially indicates how much more likely the data are to have arisen assuming the presence of a QTL than in its absence. The LOD threshold value for avoiding a false positive with a given confidence, say 95%, depends on the number of markers and the length of the genome. Graphs indicating LOD thresholds are set forth in Lander and Botstein, Genetics 121:185-199 (1989) the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference and further described by Arús and Moreno-González, Plant Breeding, Hayward et al., (eds.) Chapman & Hall, London, pp. 314-331 (1993), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference.

Additional models can be used. Many modifications and alternative approaches to interval mapping have been reported, including the use non-parametric methods (Kruglyak and Lander, Genetics 139:1421-1428 (1995), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Multiple regression methods or models can be also be used, in which the trait is regressed on a large number of markers (Jansen, Biometrics in Plant Breeding, van Oijen and Jansen (eds.), Proceedings of the Ninth Meeting of the Eucarpia Section Biometrics in Plant Breeding, The Netherlands, pp. 116-124 (1994); Weber and Wricke, Advances in Plant Breeding, Blackwell, Berlin, 16 (1994), both of which is herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). Procedures combining interval mapping with regression analysis, whereby the phenotype is regressed onto a single putative QTL at a given marker interval and at the same time onto a number of markers that serve as ‘cofactors,’ have been reported by Jansen and Stam, Genetics 136:1447-1455 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference and Zeng, Genetics 136:1457-1468 (1994) the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference. Generally, the use of cofactors reduces the bias and sampling error of the estimated QTL positions (Utz and Melchinger, Biometrics in Plant Breeding, van Oijen and Jansen (eds.) Proceedings of the Ninth Meeting of the Eucarpia Section Biometrics in Plant Breeding, The Netherlands, pp.195-204 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference, thereby improving the precision and efficiency of QTL mapping (Zeng, Genetics 136:1457-1468 (1994)). These models can be extended to multi-environment experiments to analyze genotype-environment interactions (Jansen et al., Theo. Appl. Genet. 91:33-37 (1995), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Selection of an appropriate mapping populations is important to map construction. The choice of appropriate mapping population depends on the type of marker systems employed (Tanksley et al., Molecular mapping plant chromosomes. Chromosome structure and function: Impact of new concepts, Gustafson and Appels (eds.), Plenum Press, New York, pp 157-173 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Consideration must be given to the source of parents (adapted vs. exotic) used in the mapping population. Chromosome pairing and recombination rates can be severely disturbed (suppressed) in wide crosses (adapted×exotic) and generally yield greatly reduced linkage distances. Wide crosses will usually provide segregating populations with a relatively large array of polymorphisms when compared to progeny in a narrow cross (adapted×adapted).

An F₂ population is the first generation of selfing after the hybrid seed is produced. Usually a single F₁ plant is selfed to generate a population segregating for all the genes in Mendelian (1:2:1) fashion. Maximum genetic information is obtained from a completely classified F₂ population using a codominant marker system (Mather, Measurement of Linkage in Heredity, Methuen and Co., (1938), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). In the case of dominant markers, progeny tests (e.g. F₃, BCF₂) are required to identify the heterozygotes, thus making it equivalent to a completely classified F₂ population. However, this procedure is often prohibitive because of the cost and time involved in progeny testing. Progeny testing of F₂ individuals is often used in map construction where phenotypes do not consistently reflect genotype (e.g. disease resistance) or where trait expression is controlled by a QTL. Segregation data from progeny test populations (e.g. F₃ or BCF₂) can be used in map construction. Marker-assisted selection can then be applied to cross progeny based on marker-trait map associations (F₂, F₃), where linkage groups have not been completely disassociated by recombination events (i.e., maximum disequillibrium).

Recombinant inbred lines (RIL) (genetically related lines; usually >F₅, developed from continuously selfing F₂ lines towards homozygosity) can be used as a mapping population. Information obtained from dominant markers can be maximized by using RIL because all loci are homozygous or nearly so. Under conditions of tight linkage (i.e., about <10% recombination), dominant and co-dominant markers evaluated in RIL populations provide more information per individual than either marker type in backcross populations (Reiter et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 89:1477-1481 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). However, as the distance between markers becomes larger (i.e., loci become more independent), the information in RIL populations decreases dramatically when compared to codominant markers.

Backcross populations (e.g., generated from a cross between a successful variety (recurrent parent) and another variety (donor parent) carrying a trait not present in the former) can be utilized as a mapping population. A series of backcrosses to the recurrent parent can be made to recover most of its desirable traits. Thus a population is created consisting of individuals nearly like the recurrent parent but each individual carries varying amounts or mosaic of genomic regions from the donor parent. Backcross populations can be useful for mapping dominant markers if all loci in the recurrent parent are homozygous and the donor and recurrent parent have contrasting polymorphic marker alleles (Reiter et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 89:1477-1481 (1992)). Information obtained from backcross populations using either codominant or dominant markers is less than that obtained from F₂ populations because one, rather than two, recombinant gametes are sampled per plant. Backcross populations, however, are more informative (at low marker saturation) when compared to RILs as the distance between linked loci increases in RIL populations (i.e. about 15% recombination). Increased recombination can be beneficial for resolution of tight linkages, but may be undesirable in the construction of maps with low marker saturation.

Near-isogenic lines (NIL) created by many backcrosses to produce an array of individuals that are nearly identical in genetic composition except for the trait or genomic region under interrogation can be used as a mapping population. In mapping with NILs, only a portion of the polymorphic loci are expected to map to a selected region.

Bulk segregant analysis (BSA) is a method developed for the rapid identification of linkage between markers and traits of interest (Michelmore et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 88:9828-9832 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). In BSA, two bulked DNA samples are drawn from a segregating population originating from a single cross. These bulks contain individuals that are identical for a particular trait (resistant or susceptible to particular disease) or genomic region but arbitrary at unlinked regions (i.e. heterozygous). Regions unlinked to the target region will not differ between the bulked samples of many individuals in BSA.

In accordance with this aspect of the present invention, a sample nucleic acid is obtained from plants cells or tissues. Any source of nucleic acid may be used. Preferably, the nucleic acid is genomic DNA. The nucleic acid is subjected to restriction endonuclease digestion. For example, one or more nucleic acid molecule or fragment thereof of the present invention can be used as a probe in accordance with the above-described polymorphic methods. The polymorphism obtained in this approach can then be cloned to identify the mutation at the coding region which alters the protein's structure or regulatory region of the gene which affects its expression level.

In an aspect of the present invention, one or more of the nucleic molecules of the present invention are used to determine the level (i.e., the concentration of mRNA in a sample, etc.) in a plant (preferably maize or soybean) or pattern (i.e., the kinetics of expression, rate of decomposition, stability profile, etc.) of the expression of a protein encoded in part or whole by one or more of the nucleic acid molecule of the present invention (collectively, the “Expression Response” of a cell or tissue). As used herein, the Expression Response manifested by a cell or tissue is said to be “altered” if it differs from the Expression Response of cells or tissues of plants not exhibiting the phenotype. To determine whether a Expression Response is altered, the Expression Response manifested by the cell or tissue of the plant exhibiting the phenotype is compared with that of a similar cell or tissue sample of a plant not exhibiting the phenotype. As will be appreciated, it is not necessary to re-determine the Expression Response of the cell or tissue sample of plants not exhibiting the phenotype each time such a comparison is made; rather, the Expression Response of a particular plant may be compared with previously obtained values of normal plants. As used herein, the phenotype of the organism is any of one or more characteristics of an organism (e.g. disease resistance, pest tolerance, environmental tolerance such as tolerance to abiotic stress, male sterility, quality improvement or yield etc.). A change in genotype or phenotype may be transient or permanent. Also as used herein, a tissue sample is any sample that comprises more than one cell. In a preferred aspect, a tissue sample comprises cells that share a common characteristic (e.g. derived from root, seed, flower, leaf, stem or pollen etc.).

In one aspect of the present invention, an evaluation can be conducted to determine whether a particular mRNA molecule is present. One or more of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention, preferably one or more of the EST nucleic acid molecules or fragments thereof of the present invention are utilized to detect the presence or quantity of the mRNA species. Such molecules are then incubated with cell or tissue extracts of a plant under conditions sufficient to permit nucleic acid hybridization. The detection of double-stranded probe-mRNA hybrid molecules is indicative of the presence of the mRNA; the amount of such hybrid formed is proportional to the amount of mRNA. Thus, such probes may be used to ascertain the level and extent of the mRNA production in a plant's cells or tissues. Such nucleic acid hybridization may be conducted under quantitative conditions (thereby providing a numerical value of the amount of the mRNA present). Alternatively, the assay may be conducted as a qualitative assay that indicates either that the mRNA is present, or that its level exceeds a user set, predefined value.

A principle of in situ hybridization is that a labeled, single-stranded nucleic acid probe will hybridize to a complementary strand of cellular DNA or RNA and, under the appropriate conditions, these molecules will form a stable hybrid. When nucleic acid hybridization is combined with histological techniques, specific DNA or RNA sequences can be identified within a single cell. An advantage of in situ hybridization over more conventional techniques for the detection of nucleic acids is that it allows an investigator to determine the precise spatial population (Angerer et al., Dev. Biol. 101:477-484 (1984), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Angerer et al., Dev. Biol. 112:157-166 (1985), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Dixon et al., EMBO J. 10:1317-1324 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). In situ hybridization may be used to measure the steady-state level of RNA accumulation. It is a sensitive technique and RNA sequences present in as few as 5-10 copies per cell can be detected (Hardin et al., J. Mol. Biol. 202:417-431 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). A number of protocols have been devised for in situ hybridization, each with tissue preparation, hybridization and washing conditions (Meyerowitz, Plant Mol. Biol. Rep. 5:242-250 (1987), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Cox and Goldberg, In: Plant Molecular Biology: A Practical Approach, Shaw (ed.), pp 1-35, IRL Press, Oxford (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Raikhel et al., In situ RNA hybridization in plant tissues, In: Plant Molecular Biology Manual, vol. B9:1-32, Kluwer Academic Publisher, Dordrecht, Belgium (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

In situ hybridization also allows for the localization of proteins within a tissue or cell (Wilkinson, In Situ Hybridization, Oxford University Press, Oxford (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Langdale, In Situ Hybridization In: The Maize Handbook, Freeling and Walbot (eds.), pp 165-179, Springer-Verlag, New York (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). It is understood that one or more of the molecules of the present invention, preferably one or more of the EST nucleic acid molecules or fragments thereof of the present invention or one or more of the antibodies of the present invention may be utilized to detect the level or pattern of a sucrose pathway protein or mRNA thereof by in situ hybridization.

Fluorescent in situ hybridization allows the localization of a particular DNA sequence along a chromosome which is useful, among other uses, for gene mapping, following chromosomes in hybrid lines or detecting chromosomes with translocations, transversions or deletions. In situ hybridization has been used to identify chromosomes in several plant species (Griffor et al., Plant Mol. Biol. 17:101-109 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Gustafson et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 87:1899-1902 (1990), herein incorporated by reference; Mukai and Gill, Genome 34:448-452 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Schwarzacher and Heslop-Harrison, Genome 34:317-323 (1991); Wang et al., Jpn. J. Genet. 66:313-316 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Parra and Windle, Nature Genetics 5:17-21 (1993), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). It is understood that the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention may be used as probes or markers to localize sequences along a chromosome.

Another method to localize the expression of a molecule is tissue printing. Tissue printing provides a way to screen, at the same time on the same membrane many tissue sections from different plants or different developmental stages. Tissue-printing procedures utilize films designed to immobilize proteins and nucleic acids. In essence, a freshly cut section of a tissue is pressed gently onto nitrocellulose paper, nylon membrane or polyvinylidene difluoride membrane. Such membranes are commercially available (e.g. Millipore, Bedford, Mass. U.S.A.). The contents of the cut cell transfer onto the membrane and the contents and are immobilized to the membrane. The immobilized contents form a latent print that can be visualized with appropriate probes. When a plant tissue print is made on nitrocellulose paper, the cell walls leave a physical print that makes the anatomy visible without further treatment (Varner and Taylor, Plant Physiol. 91:31-33 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Tissue printing on substrate films is described by Daoust, Exp. Cell Res. 12:203-211 (1957), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference, who detected amylase, protease, ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease in animal tissues using starch, gelatin and agar films. These techniques can be applied to plant tissues (Yomo and Taylor, Planta 112:35-43 (1973); the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Harris and Chrispeels, Plant Physiol. 56:292-299 (1975), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Advances in membrane technology have increased the range of applications of Daoust's tissue-printing techniques allowing (Cassab and Varner, J. Cell. Biol. 105:2581-2588 (1987), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) the histochemical localization of various plant enzymes and deoxyribonuclease on nitrocellulose paper and nylon (Spruce et al., Phytochemistry 26:2901-2903 (1987), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Barres et al., Neuron 5:527-544 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Reid and Pont-Lezica, Tissue Printing: Tools for the Study of Anatomy, Histochemistry and Gene Expression, Academic Press, New York, N.Y. (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Reid et al., Plant Physiol. 93:160-165 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Ye et al., Plant J. 1:175-183 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

It is understood that one or more of the molecules of the present invention, preferably one or more of the EST nucleic acid molecules or fragments thereof of the present invention or one or more of the antibodies of the present invention may be utilized to detect the presence or quantity of a sucrose pathway protein by tissue printing.

Further it is also understood that any of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention may be used as marker nucleic acids and or probes in connection with methods that require probes or marker nucleic acids. As used herein, a probe is an agent that is utilized to determine an attribute or feature (e.g. presence or absence, location, correlation, etc.) of a molecule, cell, tissue or plant. As used herein, a marker nucleic acid is a nucleic acid molecule that is utilized to determine an attribute or feature (e.g., presence or absence, location, correlation, etc.) or a molecule, cell, tissue or plant.

A microarray-based method for high-throughput monitoring of plant gene expression may be utilized to measure gene-specific hybridization targets. This ‘chip’-based approach involves using microarrays of nucleic acid molecules as gene-specific hybridization targets to quantitatively measure expression of the corresponding plant genes (Schena et al., Science 270:467-470 (1995), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Shalon, Ph.D. Thesis, Stanford University (1996), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Every nucleotide in a large sequence can be queried at the same time. Hybridization can be used to efficiently analyze nucleotide sequences.

Several microarray methods have been described. One method compares the sequences to be analyzed by hybridization to a set of oligonucleotides representing all possible subsequences (Bains and Smith, J. Theor. Biol. 135:303-307 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). A second method hybridizes the sample to an array of oligonucleotide or cDNA molecules. An array consisting of oligonucleotides complementary to subsequences of a target sequence can be used to determine the identity of a target sequence, measure its amount and detect differences between the target and a reference sequence. Nucleic acid molecules microarrays may also be screened with protein molecules or fragments thereof to determine nucleic acid molecules that specifically bind protein molecules or fragments thereof.

The microarray approach may be used with polypeptide targets (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,445,934; 5,143,854; 5,079,600; 4,923,901, all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). Essentially, polypeptides are synthesized on a substrate (microarray) and these polypeptides can be screened with either protein molecules or fragments thereof or nucleic acid molecules in order to screen for either protein molecules or fragments thereof or nucleic acid molecules that specifically bind the target polypeptides. (Fodor et al., Science 251:767-773 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). It is understood that one or more of the nucleic acid molecules or protein or fragments thereof of the present invention may be utilized in a microarray based method.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention microarrays may be prepared that comprise nucleic acid molecules where such nucleic acid molecules encode at least one, preferably at least two, more preferably at least three or preferably at least four, preferably at least five, preferably at least six, preferably at least seven, preferably at least eight, preferably at least nine, preferably at least ten, preferably at least eleven, preferably at least twelve, preferably at least thirteen, preferably at least fourteen preferably at least fifteen sucrose pathway enzymes. In a preferred embodiment the nucleic acid molecules are selected from the group consisting of a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean triose phosphate isomerase enzyme or fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase enzyme or fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean fructose 1,6-bisphosphate enzyme or fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean fructose 6-phosphate 2-kinase enzyme or fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean phosphoglucoisomerase enzyme or fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean vacuolar H⁺ translocating-pyrophosphatase enzyme or fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean pyrophosphate-dependent fructose-6-phosphate phosphotransferase enzyme or fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean invertase enzyme or fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean sucrose synthase enzyme or fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean hexokinase enzyme or fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean fructokinase enzyme or fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean NDP-kinase enzyme or fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase enzyme or fragment thereof, a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean phosphoglucomutase enzyme or fragment thereof and a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean UDP-glucose pyrophophorylase enzyme or fragment thereof.

Site directed mutagenesis may be utilized to modify nucleic acid sequences, particularly as it is a technique that allows one or more of the amino acids encoded by a nucleic acid molecule to be altered (e.g. a threonine to be replaced by a methionine). Three basic methods for site directed mutagenesis are often employed. These are cassette mutagenesis (Wells et al., Gene 34:315-323 (1985), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), primer extension (Gilliam et al., Gene 12:129-137 (1980), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Zoller and Smith, Methods Enzymol. 100:468-500 (1983), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Dalbadie-McFarland et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 79:6409-6413 (1982), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) and methods based upon PCR (Scharf et al., Science 233:1076-1078 (1986), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Higuchi et al, Nucleic Acids Res. 16:7351-7367 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Site directed mutagenesis approaches are also described in European Patent 0 385 962, the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; European Patent 0 359 472, the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; and PCT Patent Application WO 93/07278, the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference.

Site directed mutagenesis strategies have been applied to plants for both in vitro as well as in vivo site directed mutagenesis (Lanz et al., J. Biol. Chem. 266:9971-9976 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Kovgan and Zhdanov, Biotekhnologiya 5:148-154; No. 207160n, Chemical Abstracts 110:225 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Ge et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 86:4037-4041 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Zhu et al., J. Biol.

Biotechnol. 8:13-16 (1997), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Kita et al., J. Biol.

Microbiol. 7:555-562 (1993), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Hatfield and Vierstra, J. Biol. Chem. 267:14799-14803 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Zhao et al., Biochemistry 31:5093-5099 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Any of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention may either be modified by site directed mutagenesis or used as, for example, nucleic acid molecules that are used to target other nucleic acid molecules for modification. It is understood that mutants with more than one altered nucleotide can be constructed using techniques that practitioners are familiar with such as isolating restriction fragments and ligating such fragments into an expression vector (see, for example, Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Press (1989)).

Sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins play a role in the regulation of transcription. The isolation of recombinant cDNAs encoding these proteins facilitates the biochemical analysis of their structural and functional properties. Genes encoding such DNA-binding proteins have been isolated using classical genetics (Vollbrecht et al., Nature 350: 241-243 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) and molecular biochemical approaches, including the screening of recombinant cDNA libraries with antibodies (Landschulz et al., Genes Dev. 2:786-800 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) or DNA probes (Bodner et al., Cell 55:505-518 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). In addition, an in situ screening procedure has been used and has facilitated the isolation of sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins from various plant species (Gilmartin et al., Plant Cell 4:839-849 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Schindler et al., EMBO J. 11:1261- 1273 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). An in situ screening protocol does not require the purification of the protein of interest (Vinson et al., Genes Dev. 2:801-806 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Singh et al., Cell 52:415-423 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Two steps may be employed to characterize DNA-protein interactions. The first is to identify promoter fragments that interact with DNA-binding proteins, to titrate binding activity, to determine the specificity of binding and to determine whether a given DNA-binding activity can interact with related DNA sequences (Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2^nd edition, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1989)). Electrophoretic mobility-shift assay is a widely used assay. The assay provides a rapid and sensitive method for detecting DNA-binding proteins based on the observation that the mobility of a DNA fragment through a nondenaturing, low-ionic strength polyacrylamide gel is retarded upon association with a DNA-binding protein (Fried and Crother, Nucleic Acids Res. 9:6505-6525 (1981), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). When one or more specific binding activities have been identified, the exact sequence of the DNA bound by the protein may be determined. Several procedures for characterizing protein/DNA-binding sites are used, including methylation and ethylation interference assays (Maxam and Gilbert, Methods Enzymol. 65:499-560 (1980), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Wissman and Hillen, Methods Enzymol. 208:365-379 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), footprinting techniques employing DNase I (Galas and Schmitz, Nucleic Acids Res. 5:3157-3170 (1978), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), 1,10-phenanthroline-copper ion methods (Sigman et al., Methods Enzymol. 208:414-433 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) and hydroxyl radicals methods (Dixon et al, Methods Enzymol. 208:414-433 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). It is understood that one or more of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention may be utilized to identify a protein or fragment thereof that specifically binds to a nucleic acid molecule of the present invention. It is also understood that one or more of the protein molecules or fragments thereof of the present invention may be utilized to identify a nucleic acid molecule that specifically binds to it.

A two-hybrid system is based on the fact that many cellular functions are carried out by proteins, such as transcription factors, that interact (physically) with one another. Two-hybrid systems have been used to probe the function of new proteins (Chien et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 88:9578-9582 (1991) the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Durfee et al., Genes Dev. 7:555-569 (1993) the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Choi et al., Cell 78:499-512 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Kranz et al., Genes Dev. 8:313-327 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Interaction mating techniques have facilitated a number of two-hybrid studies of protein-protein interaction. Interaction mating has been used to examine interactions between small sets of tens of proteins (Finley and Brent, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 91:12098-12984 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), larger sets of hundreds of proteins (Bendixen et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 22:1778-1779 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) and to comprehensively map proteins encoded by a small genome (Bartel et al., Nature Genetics 12:72-77 (1996), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). This technique utilizes proteins fused to the DNA-binding domain and proteins fused to the activation domain. They are expressed in two different haploid yeast strains of opposite mating type and the strains are mated to determine if the two proteins interact. Mating occurs when haploid yeast strains come into contact and result in the fusion of the two haploids into a diploid yeast strain. An interaction can be determined by the activation of a two-hybrid reporter gene in the diploid strain. An advantage of this technique is that it reduces the number of yeast transformations needed to test individual interactions. It is understood that the protein-protein interactions of protein or fragments thereof of the present invention may be investigated using the two-hybrid system and that any of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention that encode such proteins or fragments thereof may be used to transform yeast in the two-hybrid system.

One or more of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention may be used in plant transformation or transfection. Exogenous genetic material may be transferred into a plant cell and the plant cell regenerated into a whole, fertile or sterile plant.

(1996), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Transfer of a nucleic acid that encodes for a protein can result in overexpression of that protein in a transformed cell or transgenic plant. One or more of the proteins or fragments thereof encoded by nucleic acid molecules of the present invention may be overexpressed in a transformed cell or transformed plant. Particularly, any of the sucrose pathway proteins or fragments thereof may be overexpressed in a transformed cell or transgenic plant. Such overexpression may be the result of transient or stable transfer of the exogenous genetic material.

Exogenous genetic material may be transferred into a plant cell and the plant cell by the use of a DNA vector or construct designed for such a purpose. Design of such a vector is generally within the skill of the art (See, Plant Molecular Biology: A Laboratory Manual, Clark (ed.), Springier, N. Y. (1997), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

A construct or vector may include a plant promoter to express the protein or protein fragment of choice. A number of promoters which are active in plant cells have been described in the literature. These include the nopaline synthase (NOS) promoter (Ebert et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 84:5745-5749 (1987), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), the octopine synthase (OCS) promoter (which are carried on tumor-inducing plasmids of Agrobacterium tumefaciens), the caulimovirus promoters such as the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 19S promoter (Lawton et al., Plant Mol. Biol. 9:315-324 (1987), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) and the CAMV 35S promoter (Odell et al., Nature 313:810-812 (1985), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), the figwort mosaic virus 35S-promoter, the light-inducible promoter from the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bis-phosphate carboxylase (ssRUBISCO), the Adh promoter (Walker et al., Proc.

(U.S.A.) 87:4144-4148 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), the R gene complex promoter (Chandler et al., The Plant Cell 1:1175-1183 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) and the chlorophyll a/b binding protein gene promoter, etc. These promoters have been used to create DNA constructs which have been expressed in plants; see, e.g., PCT publication WO 84/02913, herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Promoters which are known or are found to cause transcription of DNA in plant cells can be used in the present invention. Such promoters may be obtained from a variety of sources such as plants and plant viruses. It is preferred that the particular promoter selected should be capable of causing sufficient expression to result in the production of an effective amount of the sucrose pathway protein to cause the desired phenotype. In addition to promoters that are known to cause transcription of DNA in plant cells, other promoters may be identified for use in the current invention by screening a plant cDNA library for genes which are selectively or preferably expressed in the target tissues or cells.

For the purpose of expression in source tissues of the plant, such as the leaf, seed, root or stem, it is preferred that the promoters utilized in the present invention have relatively high expression in these specific tissues. For this purpose, one may choose from a number of promoters for genes with tissue- or cell-specific or -enhanced expression. Examples of such promoters reported in the literature include the chloroplast glutamine synthetase GS2 promoter from pea (Edwards et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 87:3459-3463 (1990), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety), the chloroplast fructose-1,6-biphosphatase (FBPase) promoter from wheat (Lloyd et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 225:209-216 (1991), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety), the nuclear photosynthetic ST-LS1 promoter from potato (Stockhaus et al., EMBO J. 8:2445-2451 (1989), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety), the serine/threonine kinase (PAL) promoter and the glucoamylase (CHS) promoter from Arabidopsis thaliana. Also reported to be active in photosynthetically active tissues are the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RbcS) promoter from eastern larch (Larix laricina), the promoter for the cab gene, cab6, from pine (Yamamoto et al., Plant Cell Physiol. 35:773-778 (1994), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety), the promoter for the Cab-1 gene from wheat (Fejes et al., Plant Mol. Biol. 15:921-932 (1990), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety), the promoter for the CAB-1 gene from spinach (Lubberstedt et al., Plant Physiol. 104:997-1006 (1994), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety), the promoter for the cab1R gene from rice (Luan et al., Plant Cell. 4:971-981 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), the pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK) promoter from maize (Matsuoka et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 90: 9586-9590 (1993), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety), the promoter for the tobacco Lhcb1*2 gene (Cerdan et al., Plant Mol. Biol. 33:245-255 (1997), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety), the Arabidopsis thaliana SUC2 sucrose-H+ symporter promoter (Truernit et al., Planta. 196:564-570 (1995), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety) and the promoter for the thylakoid membrane proteins from spinach (psaD, psaF, psaE, PC, FNR, atpC, atpD, cab, rbcS). Other promoters for the chlorophyll a/b-binding proteins may also be utilized in the present invention, such as the promoters for LhcB gene and PsbP gene from white mustard (Sinapis alba; Kretsch et al., Plant Mol. Biol. 28:219-229 (1995), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

For the purpose of expression in sink tissues of the plant, such as the tuber of the potato plant, the fruit of tomato, or the seed of maize, wheat, rice and barley, it is preferred that the promoters utilized in the present invention have relatively high expression in these specific tissues. A number of promoters for genes with tuber-specific or -enhanced expression are known, including the class I patatin promoter (Bevan et al., EMBO J. 8:1899-1906 (1986); Jefferson et al., Plant Mol. Biol. 14:995-1006 (1990), both of which are herein incorporated by reference in its entirety), the promoter for the potato tuber ADPGPP genes, both the large and small subunits, the sucrose synthase promoter (Salanoubat and Belliard, Gene. 60:47-56 (1987), Salanoubat and Belliard, Gene. 84:181-185 (1989), both of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety), the promoter for the major tuber proteins including the 22 kd protein complexes and proteinase inhibitors (Hannapel, Plant Physiol. 101:703-704 (1993), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety), the promoter for the granule bound starch synthase gene (GBSS) (Visser et al., Plant Mol. Biol. 17:691-699 (1991), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety) and other class I and II patatins promoters (Koster-Topfer et al., Mol Gen Genet. 219:390-396 (1989); Mignery et al., Gene. 62:27-44 (1988), both of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

Other promoters can also be used to express a sucrose pathway protein or fragment thereof in specific tissues, such as seeds or fruits. The promoter for β-conglycinin (Chen et al., Dev. Genet. 10: 112-122 (1989), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety) or other seed-specific promoters such as the napin and phaseolin promoters, can be used. The zeins are a group of storage proteins found in maize endosperm. Genomic clones for zein genes have been isolated (Pedersen et al., Cell 29:1015-1026 (1982), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety) and the promoters from these clones, including the 15 kD, 16 kD, 19 kD, 22 kD, 27 kD and genes, could also be used. Other promoters known to function, for example, in maize include the promoters for the following genes: waxy, Brittle, Shrunken 2, Branching enzymes I and II, starch synthases, debranching enzymes, oleosins, glutelins and sucrose synthases. A particularly preferred promoter for maize endosperm expression is the promoter for the glutelin gene from rice, more particularly the Osgt-1 promoter (Zheng et al., Mol. Cell Biol. 13:5829-5842 (1993), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). Examples of promoters suitable for expression in wheat include those promoters for the ADPglucose pyrosynthase (ADPGPP) subunits, the granule bound and other starch synthase, the branching and debranching enzymes, the embryogenesis-abundant proteins, the gliadins and the glutenins. Examples of such promoters in rice include those promoters for the ADPGPP subunits, the granule bound and other starch synthase, the branching enzymes, the debranching enzymes, sucrose synthases and the glutelins. A particularly preferred promoter is the promoter for rice glutelin, Osgt-1. Examples of such promoters for barley include those for the ADPGPP subunits, the granule bound and other starch synthase, the branching enzymes, the debranching enzymes, sucrose synthases, the hordeins, the embryo globulins and the aleurone specific proteins.

Root specific promoters may also be used. An example of such a promoter is the promoter for the acid chitinase gene (Samac et al., Plant Mol. Biol. 25:587-596 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Expression in root tissue could also be accomplished by utilizing the root specific subdomains of the CaMV35S promoter that have been identified (Lam et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 86:7890-7894 (1989), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). Other root cell specific promoters include those reported by Conkling et al. (Conkling et al., Plant Physiol. 93:1203-1211 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Additional promoters that may be utilized are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,378,619; 5,391,725; 5,428,147; 5,447,858; 5,608,144; 5,608,144; 5,614,399; 5,633,441; 5,633,435; and 4,633,436, all of which are herein incorporated in their entirety. In addition, a tissue specific enhancer may be used (Fromm et al., The Plant Cell 1:977-984 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Constructs or vectors may also include with the coding region of interest a nucleic acid sequence that acts, in whole or in part, to terminate transcription of that region. For example, such sequences have been isolated including the Tr7 3′ sequence and the NOS 3′ sequence (Ingelbrecht et al., The Plant Cell 1:671-680 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Bevan et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 11:369-385 (1983), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), or the like.

A vector or construct may also include regulatory elements. Examples of such include the Adh intron 1 (Callis et al., Genes and Develop. 1:1183-1200 (1987), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), the sucrose synthase intron (Vasil et al., Plant Physiol. 91:1575-1579 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) and the TMV omega element (Gallie et al., The Plant Cell 1:301-311 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). These and other regulatory elements may be included when appropriate.

A vector or construct may also include a selectable marker. Selectable markers may also be used to select for plants or plant cells that contain the exogenous genetic material. Examples of such include, but are not limited to, a neo gene (Potrykus et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 199:183-188 (1985), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) which codes for kanamycin resistance and can be selected for using kanamycin, G418, etc.; a bar gene which codes for bialaphos resistance; a mutant EPSP synthase gene (Hinchee et al., Bio/Technology 6:915-922 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) which encodes glyphosate resistance; a nitrilase gene which confers resistance to bromoxynil (Stalker et al., J. Biol. Chem. 263:6310-6314 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference); a mutant acetolactate synthase gene (ALS) which confers imidazolinone or sulphonylurea resistance (European Patent Application 154,204 (Sep. 11, 1985), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference); and a methotrexate resistant DHFR gene (Thillet et al., J. Biol. Chem. 263:12500-12508 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

A vector or construct may also include a transit peptide. Incorporation of a suitable chloroplast transit peptide may also be employed (European Patent Application Publication Number 0218571, the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Translational enhancers may also be incorporated as part of the vector DNA. DNA constructs could contain one or more 5′ non-translated leader sequences which may serve to enhance expression of the gene products from the resulting mRNA transcripts. Such sequences may be derived from the promoter selected to express the gene or can be specifically modified to increase translation of the mRNA. Such regions may also be obtained from viral RNAs, from suitable eukaryotic genes, or from a synthetic gene sequence. For a review of optimizing expression of transgenes, see Koziel et al., Plant Mol. Biol. 32:393-405 (1996), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference.

A vector or construct may also include a screenable marker. Screenable markers may be used to monitor expression. Exemplary screenable markers include a β-glucuronidase or uidA gene (GUS) which encodes an enzyme for which various chromogenic substrates are known (Jefferson, Plant Mol. Biol, Rep. 5:387-405 (1987), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Jefferson et al., EMBO J. 6:3901-3907 (1987), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference); an R-locus gene, which encodes a product that regulates the production of anthocyanin pigments (red color) in plant tissues (Dellaporta et al., Stadler Symposium 11:263-282 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference); a β-lactamase gene (Sutcliffe et al., Proc.

Included within the terms “selectable or screenable marker genes” are also genes which encode a secretable marker whose secretion can be detected as a means of identifying or selecting for transformed cells. Examples include markers which encode a secretable antigen that can be identified by antibody interaction, or even secretable enzymes which can be detected catalytically. Secretable proteins fall into a number of classes, including small, diffusible proteins which are detectable, (e.g., by ELISA), small active enzymes which are detectable in extracellular solution (e.g. α-amylase, β-lactamase, phosphinothricin transferase), or proteins which are inserted or trapped in the cell wall (such as proteins which include a leader sequence such as that found in the expression unit of extension or tobacco PR-S). Other possible selectable and/or screenable marker genes will be apparent to those of skill in the art.

There are many methods for introducing transforming nucleic acid molecules into plant cells. Suitable methods are believed to include virtually any method by which nucleic acid molecules may be introduced into a cell, such as by Agrobacterium infection or direct delivery of nucleic acid molecules such as, for example, by PEG-mediated transformation, by electroporation or by acceleration of DNA coated particles, etc (Potrykus, Ann. Rev. Plant Physiol. Plant Mol. Biol. 42:205-225 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Vasil, Plant Mol. Biol. 25:925-937 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). For example, electroporation has been used to transform maize protoplasts (Fromm et al., Nature 312:791-793 (1986), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Other vector systems suitable for introducing transforming DNA into a host plant cell include but are not limited to binary artificial chromosome (BIBAC) vectors (Hamilton et al., Gene 200:107-116 (1997), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference); and transfection with RNA viral vectors (Della-Cioppa et al., Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. (1996), 792 (Engineering Plants for Commercial Products and Applications), 57-61, the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Additional vector systems also include plant selectable YAC vectors such as those described in Mullen et al., Molecular Breeding 4:449-457 (1988), the entireity of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Technology for introduction of DNA into cells is well known to those of skill in the art. Four general methods for delivering a gene into cells have been described: (1) chemical methods (Graham and van der Eb, Virology 54:536-539 (1973), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference); (2) physical methods such as microinjection (Capecchi, Cell 22:479-488 (1980), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), electroporation (Wong and Neumann, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 107:584-587 (1982); Fromm et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 82:5824-5828 (1985); U.S. Pat. No. 5,384,253, all of which are herein incorporated in their entirety); and the gene gun (Johnston and Tang, Methods Cell Biol. 43:353-365 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference); (3) viral vectors (Clapp, Clin. Perinatol. 20:155-168 (1993); Lu et al., J. Exp. Med. 178:2089-2096 (1993); Eglitis and Anderson, Biotechniques 6:608-614 (1988), all of which are herein incorporated in their entirety); and (4) receptor-mediated mechanisms (Curiel et al., Hum. Gen. Ther. 3:147-154 (1992), Wagner et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 89:6099-6103 (1992), both of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety).

Acceleration methods that may be used include, for example, microprojectile bombardment and the like. One example of a method for delivering transforming nucleic acid molecules to plant cells is microprojectile bombardment. This method has been reviewed by Yang and Christou (eds.), Particle Bombardment Technology for Gene Transfer, Oxford Press, Oxford, England (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Non-biological particles (microprojectiles) that may be coated with nucleic acids and delivered into cells by a propelling force. Exemplary particles include those comprised of tungsten, gold, platinum and the like.

A particular advantage of microprojectile bombardment, in addition to it being an effective means of reproducibly transforming monocots, is that neither the isolation of protoplasts (Cristou et al., Plant Physiol. 87:671-674 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) nor the susceptibility of Agrobacterium infection are required. An illustrative embodiment of a method for delivering DNA into maize cells by acceleration is a biolistics α-particle delivery system, which can be used to propel particles coated with DNA through a screen, such as a stainless steel or Nytex screen, onto a filter surface covered with corn cells cultured in suspension. Gordon-Kamm et al., describes the basic procedure for coating tungsten particles with DNA (Gordon-Kamm et al., Plant Cell 2:603-618 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). The screen disperses the tungsten nucleic acid particles so that they are not delivered to the recipient cells in large aggregates. A particle delivery system suitable for use with the present invention is the helium acceleration PDS-1000/He gun is available from Bio-Rad Laboratories (Bio-Rad, Hercules, Calif.)(Sanford et al., Technique 3:3-16 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

For the bombardment, cells in suspension may be concentrated on filters. Filters containing the cells to be bombarded are positioned at an appropriate distance below the microprojectile stopping plate. If desired, one or more screens are also positioned between the gun and the cells to be bombarded.

Alternatively, immature embryos or other target cells may be arranged on solid culture medium. The cells to be bombarded are positioned at an appropriate distance below the microprojectile stopping plate. If desired, one or more screens are also positioned between the acceleration device and the cells to be bombarded. Through the use of techniques set forth herein one may obtain up to 1000 or more foci of cells transiently expressing a marker gene. The number of cells in a focus which express the exogenous gene product 48 hours post-bombardment often range from one to ten and average one to three.

In bombardment transformation, one may optimize the pre-bombardment culturing conditions and the bombardment parameters to yield the maximum numbers of stable transformants. Both the physical and biological parameters for bombardment are important in this technology. Physical factors are those that involve manipulating the DNA/microprojectile precipitate or those that affect the flight and velocity of either the macro- or microprojectiles. Biological factors include all steps involved in manipulation of cells before and immediately after bombardment, the osmotic adjustment of target cells to help alleviate the trauma associated with bombardment and also the nature of the transforming DNA, such as linearized DNA or intact supercoiled plasmids. It is believed that pre-bombardment manipulations are especially important for successful transformation of immature embryos.

In another alternative embodiment, plastids can be stably transformed. Methods disclosed for plastid transformation in higher plants include the particle gun delivery of DNA containing a selectable marker and targeting of the DNA to the plastid genome through homologous recombination (Svab et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 87:8526-8530 (1990); Svab and Maliga, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 90:913-917 (1993); Staub and Maliga, EMBO J. 12:601-606 (1993); U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,451,513 and 5,545,818, all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

Accordingly, it is contemplated that one may wish to adjust various aspects of the bombardment parameters in small scale studies to fully optimize the conditions. One may particularly wish to adjust physical parameters such as gap distance, flight distance, tissue distance and helium pressure. One may also minimize the trauma reduction factors by modifying conditions which influence the physiological state of the recipient cells and which may therefore influence transformation and integration efficiencies. For example, the osmotic state, tissue hydration and the subculture stage or cell cycle of the recipient cells may be adjusted for optimum transformation. The execution of other routine adjustments will be known to those of skill in the art in light of the present disclosure.

Agrobacterium-mediated transfer is a widely applicable system for introducing genes into plant cells because the DNA can be introduced into whole plant tissues, thereby bypassing the need for regeneration of an intact plant from a protoplast. The use of Agrobacterium-mediated plant integrating vectors to introduce DNA into plant cells is well known in the art. See, for example the methods described by Fraley et al., Bio/Technology 3:629-635 (1985) and Rogers et al., Methods Enzymol. 153:253-277 (1987), both of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety. Further, the integration of the Ti-DNA is a relatively precise process resulting in few rearrangements. The region of DNA to be transferred is defined by the border sequences and intervening DNA is usually inserted into the plant genome as described (Spielmann et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 205:34 (1986), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Modern Agrobacterium transformation vectors are capable of replication in E. coli as well as Agrobacterium, allowing for convenient manipulations as described (Klee et al., In: Plant DNA Infectious Agents, Hohn and Schell (eds.), Springer-Verlag, New York, pp. 179-203 (1985), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference. Moreover, technological advances in vectors for Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer have improved the arrangement of genes and restriction sites in the vectors to facilitate construction of vectors capable of expressing various polypeptide coding genes. The vectors described have convenient multi-linker regions flanked by a promoter and a polyadenylation site for direct expression of inserted polypeptide coding genes and are suitable for present purposes (Rogers et al., Methods Enzymol. 153:253-277 (1987)). In addition, Agrobacterium containing both armed and disarmed Ti genes can be used for the transformations. In those plant strains where Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is efficient, it is the method of choice because of the facile and defined nature of the gene transfer.

A transgenic plant formed using Agrobacterium transformation methods typically contains a single gene on one chromosome. Such transgenic plants can be referred to as being heterozygous for the added gene. More preferred is a transgenic plant that is homozygous for the added structural gene; i.e., a transgenic plant that contains two added genes, one gene at the same locus on each chromosome of a chromosome pair. A homozygous transgenic plant can be obtained by sexually mating (selfing) an independent segregant transgenic plant that contains a single added gene, germinating some of the seed produced and analyzing the resulting plants produced for the gene of interest.

It is also to be understood that two different transgenic plants can also be mated to produce offspring that contain two independently segregating added, exogenous genes. Selfing of appropriate progeny can produce plants that are homozygous for both added, exogenous genes that encode a polypeptide of interest. Back-crossing to a parental plant and out-crossing with a non-transgenic plant are also contemplated, as is vegetative propagation.

Transformation of plant protoplasts can be achieved using methods based on calcium phosphate precipitation, polyethylene glycol treatment, electroporation and combinations of these treatments (See, for example, Potrykus et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 205:193-200 (1986); Lorz et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 199:178 (1985); Fromm et al., Nature 319:791 (1986); Uchimiya et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 204:204 (1986); Marcotte et al., Nature 335:454-457 (1988), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

Application of these systems to different plant strains depends upon the ability to regenerate that particular plant strain from protoplasts. Illustrative methods for the regeneration of cereals from protoplasts are described (Fujimura et al., Plant Tissue Culture Letters 2:74 (1985); Toriyama et al., Theor Appl. Genet. 205:34 (1986); Yamada et al., Plant Cell Rep. 4:85 (1986); Abdullah et al., Biotechnolog 4:1087 (1986), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

To transform plant strains that cannot be successfully regenerated from protoplasts, other ways to introduce DNA into intact cells or tissues can be utilized. For example, regeneration of cereals from immature embryos or explants can be effected as described (Vasil, Biotechnology 6:397 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). In addition, “particle gun” or high-velocity microprojectile technology can be utilized (Vasil et al., Bio/Technology 10:667 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Using the latter technology, DNA is carried through the cell wall and into the cytoplasm on the surface of small metal particles as described (Klein et al., Nature 328:70 (1987); Klein et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 85:8502-8505 (1988); McCabe et al., Bio/Technology 6:923 (1988), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). The metal particles penetrate through several layers of cells and thus allow the transformation of cells within tissue explants.

Other methods of cell transformation can also be used and include but are not limited to introduction of DNA into plants by direct DNA transfer into pollen (Zhou et al., Methods Enzymol. 101:433 (1983); Hess et al, Intern Rev. Cytol. 107:367 (1987); Luo et al., Plant Mol Biol. Reporter 6:165 (1988), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety), by direct injection of DNA into reproductive organs of a plant (Pena et al., Nature 325:274 (1987), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), or by direct injection of DNA into the cells of immature embryos followed by the rehydration of desiccated embryos (Neuhaus et al., Theor. Appl. Genet. 75:30 (1987), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

The regeneration, development and cultivation of plants from single plant protoplast transformants or from various transformed explants is well known in the art (Weissbach and Weissbach, In: Methods for Plant Molecular Biology, Academic Press, San Diego, Calif., (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). This regeneration and growth process typically includes the steps of selection of transformed cells, culturing those individualized cells through the usual stages of embryonic development through the rooted plantlet stage. Transgenic embryos and seeds are similarly regenerated. The resulting transgenic rooted shoots are thereafter planted in an appropriate plant growth medium such as soil.

The development or regeneration of plants containing the foreign, exogenous gene that encodes a protein of interest is well known in the art. Preferably, the regenerated plants are self-pollinated to provide homozygous transgenic plants. Otherwise, pollen obtained from the regenerated plants is crossed to seed-grown plants of agronomically important lines. Conversely, pollen from plants of these important lines is used to pollinate regenerated plants. A transgenic plant of the present invention containing a desired polypeptide is cultivated using methods well known to one skilled in the art.

There are a variety of methods for the regeneration of plants from plant tissue. The particular method of regeneration will depend on the starting plant tissue and the particular plant species to be regenerated.

Methods for transforming dicots, primarily by use of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and obtaining transgenic plants have been published for cotton (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,004,863; 5,159,135; 5,518,908, all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety); soybean (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,569,834; 5,416,011; McCabe et. al., Biotechnology 6:923 (1988); Christou et al., Plant Physiol. 87:671-674 (1988); all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety); Brassica (U.S. Pat.

No. 5,631,152, the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference.)

Assays for gene expression based on the transient expression of cloned nucleic acid constructs have been developed by introducing the nucleic acid molecules into plant cells by polyethylene glycol treatment, electroporation, or particle bombardment (Marcotte et al., Nature 335:454-457 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Marcotte et al., Plant Cell 1:523-532 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; McCarty et al., Cell 66:895-905 (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Hattori et al., Genes Dev. 6:609-618 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Goff et al., EMBO J. 9:2517-2522 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Transient expression systems may be used to functionally dissect gene constructs (see generally, Mailga et al., Methods in Plant Molecular Biology, Cold Spring Harbor Press (1995)).

Any of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention may be introduced into a plant cell in a permanent or transient manner in combination with other genetic elements such as vectors, promoters, enhancers etc. Further, any of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention may be introduced into a plant cell in a manner that allows for overexpression of the protein or fragment thereof encoded by the nucleic acid molecule.

Cosuppression is the reduction in expression levels, usually at the level of RNA, of a particular endogenous gene or gene family by the expression of a homologous sense construct that is capable of transcribing mRNA of the same strandedness as the transcript of the endogenous gene (Napoli et al., Plant Cell 2:279-289 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; van der Krol et al., Plant Cell 2:291-299 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Cosuppression may result from stable transformation with a single copy nucleic acid molecule that is homologous to a nucleic acid sequence found with the cell (Prolls and Meyer, Plant J. 2:465-475 (1992), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) or with multiple copies of a nucleic acid molecule that is homologous to a nucleic acid sequence found with the cell (Mittlesten et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 244:325-330 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Genes, even though different, linked to homologous promoters may result in the cosuppression of the linked genes (Vaucheret, C. R. Acad. Sci. III 316:1471-1483 (1993), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

This technique has, for example, been applied to generate white flowers from red petunia and tomatoes that do not ripen on the vine. Up to 50% of petunia transformants that contained a sense copy of the glucoamylase (CHS) gene produced white flowers or floral sectors; this was as a result of the post-transcriptional loss of mRNA encoding CHS (Flavell, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 91:3490-3496 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference); van Blokland et al., Plant J. 6:861-877 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Cosuppression may require the coordinate transcription of the transgene and the endogenous gene and can be reset by a developmental control mechanism (Jorgensen, Trends Biotechnol. 8:340-344 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Meins and Kunz, In: Gene Inactivation and Homologous Recombination in Plants, Paszkowski (ed.), pp. 335-348, Kluwer Academic, Netherlands (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

It is understood that one or more of the nucleic acids of the present invention may be introduced into a plant cell and transcribed using an appropriate promoter with such transcription resulting in the cosuppression of an endogenous sucrose pathway protein.

Antisense approaches are a way of preventing or reducing gene function by targeting the genetic material (Mol et al., FEBS Lett. 268:427-430 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). The objective of the antisense approach is to use a sequence complementary to the target gene to block its expression and create a mutant cell line or organism in which the level of a single chosen protein is selectively reduced or abolished. Antisense techniques have several advantages over other ‘reverse genetic’ approaches. The site of inactivation and its developmental effect can be manipulated by the choice of promoter for antisense genes or by the timing of external application or microinjection. Antisense can manipulate its specificity by selecting either unique regions of the target gene or regions where it shares homology to other related genes (Hiatt et al., In: Genetic Engineering, Setlow (ed.), Vol. 11, New York: Plenum 49-63 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

The principle of regulation by antisense RNA is that RNA that is complementary to the target mRNA is introduced into cells, resulting in specific RNA:RNA duplexes being formed by base pairing between the antisense substrate and the target mRNA (Green et al., Annu. Rev. Biochem. 55:569-597 (1986), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Under one embodiment, the process involves the introduction and expression of an antisense gene sequence. Such a sequence is one in which part or all of the normal gene sequences are placed under a promoter in inverted orientation so that the ‘wrong’ or complementary strand is transcribed into a noncoding antisense RNA that hybridizes with the target mRNA and interferes with its expression (Takayama and Inouye, Crit. Rev. Biochem. Mol. Biol. 25:155-184 (1990), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). An antisense vector is constructed by standard procedures and introduced into cells by transformation, transfection, electroporation, microinjection, infection, etc. The type of transformation and choice of vector will determine whether expression is transient or stable. The promoter used for the antisense gene may influence the level, timing, tissue, specificity, or inducibility of the antisense inhibition.

It is understood that the activity of a sucrose pathway protein in a plant cell may be reduced or depressed by growing a transformed plant cell containing a nucleic acid molecule whose non-transcribed strand encodes a sucrose pathway protein or fragment thereof.

Antibodies have been expressed in plants (Hiatt et al., Nature 342:76-78 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Conrad and Fielder, Plant Mol. Biol. 26:1023-1030 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Cytoplamsic expression of a scFv (single-chain Fv antibodies) has been reported to delay infection by artichoke mottled crinkle virus. Transgenic plants that express antibodies directed against endogenous proteins may exhibit a physiological effect (Philips et al., EMBO J. 16:4489-4496 (1997), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Marion-Poll, Trends in Plant Science 2:447-448 (1997), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). For example, expressed anti-abscisic antibodies have been reported to result in a general perturbation of seed development (Philips et al., EMBO J. 16: 4489-4496 (1997)).

Antibodies that are catalytic may also be expressed in plants (abzymes). The principle behind abzymes is that since antibodies may be raised against many molecules, this recognition ability can be directed toward generating antibodies that bind transition states to force a chemical reaction forward (Persidas, Nature Biotechnology 15:1313-1315 (1997), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Baca et al., Ann. Rev. Biophys. Biomol. Struct. 26:461-493 (1997), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). The catalytic abilities of abzymes may be enhanced by site directed mutagenesis. Examples of abzymes are, for example, set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos: 5,658,753; 5,632,990; 5,631,137; 5,602,015; 5,559,538; 5,576,174; 5,500,358; 5,318,897; 5,298,409; 5,258,289 and 5,194,585, all of which are herein incorporated in their entirety.

It is understood that any of the antibodies of the present invention may be expressed in plants and that such expression can result in a physiological effect. It is also understood that any of the expressed antibodies may be catalytic.

(b) Fungal Constructs and Fungal Transformants

The present invention also relates to a fungal recombinant vector comprising exogenous genetic material. The present invention also relates to a fungal cell comprising a fungal recombinant vector. The present invention also relates to methods for obtaining a recombinant fungal host cell comprising introducing into a fungal host cell exogenous genetic material.

Exogenous genetic material may be transferred into a fungal cell. In a preferred embodiment the exogenous genetic material includes a nucleic acid molecule of the present invention having a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 or complements thereof or fragments of either or other nucleic acid molecule of the present invention. The fungal recombinant vector may be any vector which can be conveniently subjected to recombinant DNA procedures. The choice of a vector will typically depend on the compatibility of the vector with the fungal host cell into which the vector is to be introduced. The vector may be a linear or a closed circular plasmid. The vector system may be a single vector or plasmid or two or more vectors or plasmids which together contain the total DNA to be introduced into the genome of the fungal host.

The fungal vector may be an autonomously replicating vector, i.e., a vector which exists as an extrachromosomal entity, the replication of which is independent of chromosomal replication, e.g., a plasmid, an extrachromosomal element, a minichromosome, or an artificial chromosome. The vector may contain any means for assuring self-replication. Alternatively, the vector may be one which, when introduced into the fungal cell, is integrated into the genome and replicated together with the chromosome(s) into which it has been integrated. For integration, the vector may rely on the nucleic acid sequence of the vector for stable integration of the vector into the genome by homologous or nonhomologous recombination. Alternatively, the vector may contain additional nucleic acid sequences for directing integration by homologous recombination into the genome of the fungal host. The additional nucleic acid sequences enable the vector to be integrated into the host cell genome at a precise location(s) in the chromosome(s). To increase the likelihood of integration at a precise location, there should be preferably two nucleic acid sequences which individually contain a sufficient number of nucleic acids, preferably 400 bp to 1500 bp, more preferably 800 bp to 1000 bp, which are highly homologous with the corresponding target sequence to enhance the probability of homologous recombination. These nucleic acid sequences may be any sequence that is homologous with a target sequence in the genome of the fungal host cell and, furthermore, may be non-encoding or encoding sequences.

For autonomous replication, the vector may further comprise an origin of replication enabling the vector to replicate autonomously in the host cell in question. Examples of origin of replications for use in a yeast host cell are the 2 micron origin of replication and the combination of CEN3 and ARS 1. Any origin of replication may be used which is compatible with the fungal host cell of choice.

The fungal vectors of the present invention preferably contain one or more selectable markers which permit easy selection of transformed cells. A selectable marker is a gene the product of which provides, for example biocide or viral resistance, resistance to heavy metals, prototrophy to auxotrophs and the like. The selectable marker may be selected from the group including, but not limited to, amdS (acetamidase), argB (ornithine carbamoyltransferase), bar (phosphinothricin acetyltransferase), hygB (hygromycin phosphotransferase), niaD (nitrate reductase), pyrG (orotidine-5′-phosphate decarboxylase) and sC (sulfate adenyltransferase) and trpC (anthranilate synthase). Preferred for use in an Aspergillus cell are the amdS and pyrG markers of Aspergillus nidulans or Aspergillus oryzae and the bar marker of Streptomyces hygroscopicus. Furthermore, selection may be accomplished by co-transformation, e.g., as described in WO 91/17243, the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference. A nucleic acid sequence of the present invention may be operably linked to a suitable promoter sequence. The promoter sequence is a nucleic acid sequence which is recognized by the fungal host cell for expression of the nucleic acid sequence. The promoter sequence contains transcription and translation control sequences which mediate the expression of the protein or fragment thereof.

A promoter may be any nucleic acid sequence which shows transcriptional activity in the fungal host cell of choice and may be obtained from genes encoding polypeptides either homologous or heterologous to the host cell. Examples of suitable promoters for directing the transcription of a nucleic acid construct of the invention in a filamentous fungal host are promoters obtained from the genes encoding Aspergillus oryzae TAKA amylase, Rhizomucor miehei aspartic proteinase, Aspergillus niger neutral alpha-amylase, Aspergillus niger acid stable alpha-amylase, Aspergillus niger or Aspergillus awamori glucoamylase (glaA), Rhizomucor miehei lipase, Aspergillus oryzae alkaline protease, Aspergillus oryzae triose phosphate isomerase, Aspergillus nidulans acetamidase and hybrids thereof. In a yeast host, a useful promoter is the Saccharomyces cerevisiae enolase (eno-1) promoter. Particularly preferred promoters are the TAKA amylase, NA2-tpi (a hybrid of the promoters from the genes encoding Aspergillus niger neutral alpha-amylase and Aspergillus oryzae triose phosphate isomerase) and glaA promoters.

A protein or fragment thereof encoding nucleic acid molecule of the present invention may also be operably linked to a terminator sequence at its 3′ terminus. The terminator sequence may be native to the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein or fragment thereof or may be obtained from foreign sources. Any terminator which is functional in the fungal host cell of choice may be used in the present invention, but particularly preferred terminators are obtained from the genes encoding Aspergillus oryzae TAKA amylase, Aspergillus niger glucoamylase, Aspergillus nidulans anthranilate synthase, Aspergillus niger alpha-glucosidase and Saccharomyces cerevisiae enolase.

A protein or fragment thereof encoding nucleic acid molecule of the present invention may also be operably linked to a suitable leader sequence. A leader sequence is a nontranslated region of a mRNA which is important for translation by the fungal host. The leader sequence is operably linked to the 5′ terminus of the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein or fragment thereof. The leader sequence may be native to the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein or fragment thereof or may be obtained from foreign sources. Any leader sequence which is functional in the fungal host cell of choice may be used in the present invention, but particularly preferred leaders are obtained from the genes encoding Aspergillus oryzae TAKA amylase and Aspergillus oryzae triose phosphate isomerase.

A polyadenylation sequence may also be operably linked to the 3′ terminus of the nucleic acid sequence of the present invention. The polyadenylation sequence is a sequence which when transcribed is recognized by the fungal host to add polyadenosine residues to transcribed mRNA. The polyadenylation sequence may be native to the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein or fragment thereof or may be obtained from foreign sources. Any polyadenylation sequence which is functional in the fungal host of choice may be used in the present invention, but particularly preferred polyadenylation sequences are obtained from the genes encoding Aspergillus oryzae TAKA amylase, Aspergillus niger glucoamylase, Aspergillus nidulans anthranilate synthase and Aspergillus niger alpha-glucosidase.

To avoid the necessity of disrupting the cell to obtain the protein or fragment thereof and to minimize the amount of possible degradation of the expressed protein or fragment thereof within the cell, it is preferred that expression of the protein or fragment thereof gives rise to a product secreted outside the cell. To this end, a protein or fragment thereof of the present invention may be linked to a signal peptide linked to the amino terminus of the protein or fragment thereof. A signal peptide is an amino acid sequence which permits the secretion of the protein or fragment thereof from the fungal host into the culture medium. The signal peptide may be native to the protein or fragment thereof of the invention or may be obtained from foreign sources. The 5′ end of the coding sequence of the nucleic acid sequence of the present invention may inherently contain a signal peptide coding region naturally linked in translation reading frame with the segment of the coding region which encodes the secreted protein or fragment thereof. Alternatively, the 5′ end of the coding sequence may contain a signal peptide coding region which is foreign to that portion of the coding sequence which encodes the secreted protein or fragment thereof. The foreign signal peptide may be required where the coding sequence does not normally contain a signal peptide coding region. Alternatively, the foreign signal peptide may simply replace the natural signal peptide to obtain enhanced secretion of the desired protein or fragment thereof. The foreign signal peptide coding region may be obtained from a glucoamylase or an amylase gene from an Aspergillus species, a lipase or proteinase gene from Rhizomucor miehei, the gene for the alpha-factor from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or the calf preprochymosin gene. An effective signal peptide for fungal host cells is the Aspergillus oryzae TAKA amylase signal, Aspergillus niger neutral amylase signal, the Rhizomucor miehei aspartic proteinase signal, the Humicola lanuginosus cellulase signal, or the Rhizomucor miehei lipase signal. However, any signal peptide capable of permitting secretion of the protein or fragment thereof in a fungal host of choice may be used in the present invention.

A protein or fragment thereof encoding nucleic acid molecule of the present invention may also be linked to a propeptide coding region. A propeptide is an amino acid sequence found at the amino terminus of a proprotein or proenzyme. Cleavage of the propeptide from the proprotein yields a mature biochemically active protein. The resulting polypeptide is known as a propolypeptide or proenzyme (or a zymogen in some cases). Propolypeptides are generally inactive and can be converted to mature active polypeptides by catalytic or autocatalytic cleavage of the propeptide from the propolypeptide or proenzyme. The propeptide coding region may be native to the protein or fragment thereof or may be obtained from foreign sources. The foreign propeptide coding region may be obtained from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-factor gene or Myceliophthora thermophila laccase gene (WO 95/33836, the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

The procedures used to ligate the elements described above to construct the recombinant expression vector of the present invention are well known to one skilled in the art (see, for example, Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed., Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., (1989)).

The present invention also relates to recombinant fungal host cells produced by the methods of the present invention which are advantageously used with the recombinant vector of the present invention. The cell is preferably transformed with a vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence of the invention followed by integration of the vector into the host chromosome. The choice of fungal host cells will to a large extent depend upon the gene encoding the protein or fragment thereof and its source. The fungal host cell may, for example, be a yeast cell or afilamentous fungal cell.

“Yeast” as used herein includes Ascosporogenous yeast (Endomycetales), Basidiosporogenous yeast and yeast belonging to the Fungi Imperfecti (Blastomycetes). The Ascosporogenous yeasts are divided into the families Spermophthoraceae and Saccharomycetaceae. The latter is comprised of four subfamilies, Schizosaccharomycoideae for example, genus Schizosaccharomyces), Nadsonioideae, Lipomycoideae and Saccharomycoideae (for example, genera Pichia, Kluyveromyces and Saccharomyces). The Basidiosporogenous yeasts include the genera Leucosporidim, Rhodosporidium, Sporidiobolus, Filobasidium and Filobasidiella. Yeast belonging to the Fungi Imperfecti are divided into two families, Sporobolomycetaceae (for example, genera Sorobolomyces and Bullera) and Cryptococcaceae (for example, genus Candida). Since the classification of yeast may change in the future, for the purposes of this invention, yeast shall be defined as described in Biology and Activities of Yeast (Skinner et al., Soc. App. Bacteriol. Symposium Series No. 9, (1980), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). The biology of yeast and manipulation of yeast genetics are well known in the art (see, for example, Biochemistry and Genetics of Yeast, Bacil et al. (ed.), 2nd edition, 1987; The Yeasts, Rose and Harrison (eds.), 2nd ed., (1987); and The Molecular Biology of the Yeast Saccharomyces , Strathern et al. (eds.), (1981), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

“Fungi” as used herein includes the phyla Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Chytridiomycota and Zygomycota (as defined by Hawksworth et al., In: Ainsworth and Bisby's Dictionary of The Fungi, 8th edition, 1995, CAB International, University Press, Cambridge, UK; the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) as well as the Oomycota (as cited in Hawksworth et al., In: Ainsworth and Bisby's Dictionary of The Fungi, 8th edition, 1995, CAB International, University Press, Cambridge, UK) and all mitosporic fungi (Hawksworth et al., In: Ainsworth and Bisby's Dictionary of The Fungi, 8th edition, 1995, CAB International, University Press, Cambridge, UK).

Examples of Basidiomycota include mushrooms, rusts and smuts. Representative groups of Chytridiomycota include, for example, Allomyces, Blastocladiella, Coelomomyces and aquatic fungi. Representative groups of Oomycota include, for example, Saprolegniomycetous aquatic fungi (water molds) such as Achlya. Examples of mitosporic fungi include Aspergillus, Penicilliun, Candida and Alternaria. Representative groups of Zygomycota include, for example, Rhizopus and Mucor.

“Filamentous fungi” include all filamentous forms of the subdivision Eumycota and Oomycota (as defined by Hawksworth et al., In: Ainsworth and Bisby's Dictionary of The Fungi, 8th edition, 1995, CAB International, University Press, Cambridge, UK). The filamentous fungi are characterized by a vegetative mycelium composed of chitin, cellulose, glucan, chitosan, mannan and other complex polysaccharides. Vegetative growth is by hyphal elongation and carbon catabolism is obligately aerobic. In contrast, vegetative growth by yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae is by budding of a unicellular thallus and carbon catabolism may be fermentative.

In a further preferred embodiment, the fungal host cell is an A. nidulans cell.

The recombinant fungal host cells of the present invention may further comprise one or more sequences which encode one or more factors that are advantageous in the expression of the protein or fragment thereof, for example, an activator (e.g., a trans-acting factor), a chaperone and a processing protease. The nucleic acids encoding one or more of these factors are preferably not operably linked to the nucleic acid encoding the protein or fragment thereof. An activator is a protein which activates transcription of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide (Kudla et al., EMBO 9:1355-1364(1990); Jarai and Buxton, Current Genetics 26:2238-244(1994); Verdier, Yeast 6:271-297(1990), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). The nucleic acid sequence encoding an activator may be obtained from the genes encoding Saccharomyces cerevisiae heme activator protein 1 (hap1), Saccharomyces cerevisiae galactose metabolizing protein 4 (gal4) and Aspergillus nidulans ammonia regulation protein (areA). For further examples, see Verdier, Yeast 6:271-297 (1990); MacKenzie et al., Journal of Gen. Microbiol. 139:2295-2307 (1993), both of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). A chaperone is a protein which assists another protein in folding properly (Hartl et al., TIBS 19:20-25 (1994); Bergeron et al., TIBS 19:124-128 (1994); Demolder et al., J. Biotechnology 32:179-189 (1994); Craig, Science 260:1902-1903(1993); Gething and Sambrook, Nature 355:33-45 (1992); Puig and Gilbert, J Biol. Chem. 269:7764-7771 (1994); Wang and Tsou, FASEB Journal 7:1515-11157 (1993); Robinson et al., Bio/Technology 1:381-384 (1994), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). The nucleic acid sequence encoding a chaperone may be obtained from the genes encoding Aspergillus oryzae protein disulphide isomerase, Saccharomyces cerevisiae calnexin, Saccharomyces cerevisiae BiP/GRP78 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae sp70. For further examples, see Gething and Sambrook, Nature 355:33-45 (1992); Hartl et al., TIBS 19:20-25 (1994). A processing protease is a protease that cleaves a propeptide to generate a mature biochemically active polypeptide (Enderlin and Ogrydziak, Yeast 10:67-79 (1994); Fuller et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 86:1434-1438 (1989); Julius et al., Cell 37:1075-1089 (1984); Julius et al., Cell 32:839-852 (1983), all of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety).

Any factor that is functional in the fungal host cell of choice may be used in the present invention.

Fungal cells may be transformed by a process involving protoplast formation, transformation of the protoplasts and regeneration of the cell wall in a manner known per se. Suitable procedures for transformation of Aspergillus host cells are described in EP 238 023 and Yelton et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 81:1470-1474 (1984), both of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety. A suitable method of transforming Fusarium species is described by Malardier et al., Gene 78:147-156 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference. Yeast may be transformed using the procedures described by Becker and Guarente, In: Abelson and Simon, (eds.), Guide to Yeast Genetics and Molecular Biology, Methods Enzymol. Volume 194, pp 182-187, Academic Press, Inc., New York; Ito et al., J. Bacteriology 153:163 (1983); Hinnen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 75:1920 (1978), all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.

The present invention also relates to methods of producing the protein or fragment thereof comprising culturing the recombinant fungal host cells under conditions conducive for expression of the protein or fragment thereof. The fungal cells of the present invention are cultivated in a nutrient medium suitable for production of the protein or fragment thereof using methods known in the art. For example, the cell may be cultivated by shake flask cultivation, small-scale or large-scale fermentation (including continuous, batch, fed-batch, or solid state fermentations) in laboratory or industrial fermentors performed in a suitable medium and under conditions allowing the protein or fragment thereof to be expressed and/or isolated. The cultivation takes place in a suitable nutrient medium comprising carbon and nitrogen sources and inorganic salts, using procedures known in the art (see, e.g., Bennett and LaSure (eds.), More Gene Manipulations in Fungi, Academic Press, CA, (1991), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Suitable media are available from commercial suppliers or may be prepared according to published compositions (e.g., in catalogues of the American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, Va.). If the protein or fragment thereof is secreted into the nutrient medium, a protein or fragment thereof can be recovered directly from the medium. If the protein or fragment thereof is not secreted, it is recovered from cell lysates.

The expressed protein or fragment thereof may be detected using methods known in the art that are specific for the particular protein or fragment. These detection methods may include the use of specific antibodies, formation of an enzyme product, or disappearance of an enzyme substrate. For example, if the protein or fragment thereof has enzymatic activity, an enzyme assay may be used. Alternatively, if polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies specific to the protein or fragment thereof are available, immunoassays may be employed using the antibodies to the protein or fragment thereof. The techniques of enzyme assay and immunoassay are well known to those skilled in the art.

The resulting protein or fragment thereof may be recovered by methods known in the arts. For example, the protein or fragment thereof may be recovered from the nutrient medium by conventional procedures including, but not limited to, centrifugation, filtration, extraction, spray-drying, evaporation, or precipitation. The recovered protein or fragment thereof may then be further purified by a variety of chromatographic procedures, e.g., ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, affinity chromatography, or the like.

(c) Mammalian Constructs and Transformed Mammalian Cells

The present invention also relates to methods for obtaining a recombinant mammalian host cell, comprising introducing into a mammalian host cell exogenous genetic material. The present invention also relates to a mammalian cell comprising a mammalian recombinant vector. The present invention also relates to methods for obtaining a recombinant mammalian host cell, comprising introducing into a mammalian cell exogenous genetic material. In a preferred embodiment the exogenous genetic material includes a nucleic acid molecule of the present invention having a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 or complements thereof or fragments of either or other nucleic acid molecule of the present invention.

Mammalian cell lines available as hosts for expression are known in the art and include many immortalized cell lines available from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, Va.), such as HeLa cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells and a number of other cell lines. Suitable promoters for mammalian cells are also known in the art and include viral promoters such as that from Simian Virus 40 (SV40) (Fiers et al., Nature 273:113 (1978), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), adenovirus (ADV) and bovine papilloma virus (BPV). Mammalian cells may also require terminator sequences and poly-A addition sequences. Enhancer sequences which increase expression may also be included and sequences which promote amplification of the gene may also be desirable (for example methotrexate resistance genes).

Vectors suitable for replication in mammalian cells may include viral replicons, or sequences which insure integration of the appropriate sequences encoding HCV epitopes into the host genome. For example, another vector used to express foreign DNA is vaccinia virus. In this case, for example, a nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein or fragment thereof is inserted into the vaccinia genome. Techniques for the insertion of foreign DNA into the vaccinia virus genome are known in the art and may utilize, for example, homologous recombination. Such heterologous DNA is generally inserted into a gene which is non-essential to the virus, for example, the thymidine kinase gene (tk), which also provides a selectable marker. Plasmid vectors that greatly facilitate the construction of recombinant viruses have been described (see, for example, Mackett et al, J Virol. 49:857 (1984); Chakrabarti et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 5:3403 (1985); Moss, In: Gene Transfer Vectors For Mammalian Cells (Miller and Calos, eds., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, N.Y., p. 10, (1987); all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). Expression of the HCV polypeptide then occurs in cells or animals which are infected with the live recombinant vaccinia virus.

The sequence to be integrated into the mammalian sequence may be introduced into the primary host by any convenient means, which includes calcium precipitated DNA, spheroplast fusion, transformation, electroporation, biolistics, lipofection, microinjection, or other convenient means. Where an amplifiable gene is being employed, the amplifiable gene may serve as the selection marker for selecting hosts into which the amplifiable gene has been introduced. Alternatively, one may include with the amplifiable gene another marker, such as a drug resistance marker, e.g. neomycin resistance (G418 in mammalian cells), hygromycin in resistance etc., or an auxotrophy marker (HIS3, TRP1, LEU2, URA3, ADE2, LYS2, etc.) for use in yeast cells.

Depending upon the nature of the modification and associated targeting construct, various techniques may be employed for identifying targeted integration. Conveniently, the DNA may be digested with one or more restriction enzymes and the fragments probed with an appropriate DNA fragment which will identify the properly sized restriction fragment associated with integration.

One may use different promoter sequences, enhancer sequences, or other sequence which will allow for enhanced levels of expression in the expression host. Thus, one may combine an enhancer from one source, a promoter region from another source, a 5′-noncoding region upstream from the initiation sucrose from the same or different source as the other sequences and the like. One may provide for an intron in the non-coding region with appropriate splice sites or for an alternative 3′-untranslated sequence or polyadenylation site. Depending upon the particular purpose of the modification, any of these sequences may be introduced, as desired.

Where selection is intended, the sequence to be integrated will have with it a marker gene, which allows for selection. The marker gene may conveniently be downstream from the target gene and may include resistance to a cytotoxic agent, e.g. antibiotics, heavy metals, or the like, resistance or susceptibility to HAT, gancyclovir, etc., complementation to an auxotrophic host, particularly by using an auxotrophic yeast as the host for the subject manipulations, or the like. The marker gene may also be on a separate DNA molecule, particularly with primary mammalian cells. Alternatively, one may screen the various transformants, due to the high efficiency of recombination in yeast, by using hybridization analysis, PCR, sequencing, or the like.

For homologous recombination, constructs can be prepared where the amplifiable gene will be flanked, normally on both sides with DNA homologous with the DNA of the target region. Depending upon the nature of the integrating DNA and the purpose of the integration, the homologous DNA will generally be within 100 kb, usually 50 kb, preferably about 25 kb, of the transcribed region of the target gene, more preferably within 2 kb of the target gene. Where modeling of the gene is intended, homology will usually be present proximal to the site of the mutation. The homologous DNA may include the 5′-upstream region outside of the transcriptional regulatory region or comprising any enhancer sequences, transcriptional initiation sequences, adjacent sequences, or the like. The homologous region may include a portion of the coding region, where the coding region may be comprised only of an open reading frame or combination of exons and introns. The homologous region may comprise all or a portion of an intron, where all or a portion of one or more exons may also be present. Alternatively, the homologous region may comprise the 3′-region, so as to comprise all or a portion of the transcriptional termination region, or the region 3′ of this region. The homologous regions may extend over all or a portion of the target gene or be outside the target gene comprising all or a portion of the transcriptional regulatory regions and/or the structural gene.

The integrating constructs may be prepared in accordance with conventional ways, where sequences may be synthesized, isolated from natural sources, manipulated, cloned, ligated, subjected to in vitro mutagenesis, primer repair, or the like. At various stages, the joined sequences may be cloned and analyzed by restriction analysis, sequencing, or the like. Usually during the preparation of a construct where various fragments are joined, the fragments, intermediate constructs and constructs will be carried on a cloning vector comprising a replication system functional in a prokaryotic host, e.g., E. coli and a marker for selection, e.g., biocide resistance, complementation to an auxotrophic host, etc. Other functional sequences may also be present, such as polylinkers, for ease of introduction and excision of the construct or portions thereof, or the like. A large number of cloning vectors are available such as pBR322, the pUC series, etc. These constructs may then be used for integration into the primary mammalian host.

In the case of the primary mammalian host, a replicating vector may be used. Usually, such vector will have a viral replication system, such as SV40, bovine papilloma virus, adenovirus, or the like. The linear DNA sequence vector may also have a selectable marker for identifying transfected cells. Selectable markers include the neo gene, allowing for selection with G418, the herpes tk gene for selection with HAT medium, the gpt gene with mycophenolic acid, complementation of an auxotrophic host, etc.

The vector may or may not be capable of stable maintenance in the host. Where the vector is capable of stable maintenance, the cells will be screened for homologous integration of the vector into the genome of the host, where various techniques for curing the cells may be employed. Where the vector is not capable of stable maintenance, for example, where a temperature sensitive replication system is employed, one may change the temperature from the permissive temperature to the non-permissive temperature, so that the cells may be cured of the vector. In this case, only those cells having integration of the construct comprising the amplifiable gene and, when present, the selectable marker, will be able to survive selection.

Where a selectable marker is present, one may select for the presence of the targeting construct by means of the selectable marker. Where the selectable marker is not present, one may select for the presence of the construct by the amplifiable gene. For the neo gene or the herpes tk gene, one could employ a medium for growth of the transformants of about 0. 1-1 mg/ml of G418 or may use HAT medium, respectively. Where DHFR is the amplifiable gene, the selective medium may include from about 0.01-0.5 M of methotrexate or be deficient in glycine-hypoxanthine-thymidine and have dialysed serum (GHT media).

The DNA can be introduced into the expression host by a variety of techniques that include calcium phosphate/DNA co-precipitates, microinjection of DNA into the nucleus, electroporation, yeast protoplast fusion with intact cells, transfection, polycations, e.g., polybrene, polyornithine, etc., or the like. The DNA may be single or double stranded DNA, linear or circular. The various techniques for transforming mammalian cells are well known (see Keown et al., Methods Enzymol. (1989); Keown et al., Methods Enzymol. 185:527-537 (1990); Mansour et al., Nature 336:348-352, (1988); all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

(d) Insect Constructs and Transformed Insect Cells

The present invention also relates to an insect recombinant vectors comprising exogenous genetic material. The present invention also relates to an insect cell comprising an insect recombinant vector. The present invention also relates to methods for obtaining a recombinant insect host cell, comprising introducing into an insect cell exogenous genetic material. In a preferred embodiment the exogenous genetic material includes a nucleic acid molecule of the present invention having a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 or complements thereof or fragments of either or other nucleic acid molecule of the present invention.

The insect recombinant vector may be any vector which can be conveniently subjected to recombinant DNA procedures and can bring about the expression of the nucleic acid sequence. The choice of a vector will typically depend on the compatibility of the vector with the insect host cell into which the vector is to be introduced. The vector may be a linear or a closed circular plasmid. The vector system may be a single vector or plasmid or two or more vectors or plasmids which together contain the total DNA to be introduced into the genome of the insect host. In addition, the insect vector may be an expression vector. Nucleic acid molecules can be suitably inserted into a replication vector for expression in the insect cell under a suitable promoter for insect cells. Many vectors are available for this purpose and selection of the appropriate vector will depend mainly on the size of the nucleic acid molecule to be inserted into the vector and the particular host cell to be transformed with the vector. Each vector contains various components depending on its function (amplification of DNA or expression of DNA) and the particular host cell with which it is compatible. The vector components for insect cell transformation generally include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: a signal sequence, origin of replication, one or more marker genes and an inducible promoter.

The insect vector may be an autonomously replicating vector, i.e., a vector which exists as an extrachromosomal entity, the replication of which is independent of chromosomal replication, e.g., a plasmid, an extrachromosomal element, a minichromosome, or an artificial chromosome. The vector may contain any means for assuring self-replication. Alternatively, the vector may be one which, when introduced into the insect cell, is integrated into the genome and replicated together with the chromosome(s) into which it has been integrated. For integration, the vector may rely on the nucleic acid sequence of the vector for stable integration of the vector into the genome by homologous or nonhomologous recombination. Alternatively, the vector may contain additional nucleic acid sequences for directing integration by homologous recombination into the genome of the insect host. The additional nucleic acid sequences enable the vector to be integrated into the host cell genome at a precise location(s) in the chromosome(s). To increase the likelihood of integration at a precise location, there should be preferably two nucleic acid sequences which individually contain a sufficient number of nucleic acids, preferably 400 bp to 1500 bp, more preferably 800 bp to 1000 bp, which are highly homologous with the corresponding target sequence to enhance the probability of homologous recombination. These nucleic acid sequences may be any sequence that is homologous with a target sequence in the genome of the insect host cell and, furthermore, may be non-encoding or encoding sequences.

Baculovirus expression vectors (BEVs) have become important tools for the expression of foreign genes, both for basic research and for the production of proteins with direct clinical applications in human and veterinary medicine (Doerfler, Curr. Top. Microbiol. Immunol. 131:51-68 (1968); Luckow and Summers, Bio/Technology 6:47-55 (1988a); Miller, Annual Review of Microbiol. 42:177-199 (1988); Summers, Curr. Comm. Molecular Biology, Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1988); all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety). BEVs are recombinant insect viruses in which the coding sequence for a chosen foreign gene has been inserted behind a baculovirus promoter in place of the viral gene, e.g., polyhedrin (Smith and Summers, U.S. Pat. No. 4,745,051, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference).

The use of baculovirus vectors relies upon the host cells being derived from Lepidopteran insects such as Spodoptera frugiperda or Trichoplusia ni. The preferred Spodoptera frugiperda cell line is the cell line Sf9. The Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cell line was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, Va.) and is assigned accession number ATCC CRL 1711 (Summers and Smith, A Manual of Methods for Baculovirus Vectors and Insect Cell Culture Procedures, Texas Ag. Exper. Station Bulletin No. 1555 (1988), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Other insect cell systems, such as the silkworm B. mori may also be used.

The proteins expressed by the BEVs are, therefore, synthesized, modified and transported in host cells derived from Lepidopteran insects. Most of the genes that have been inserted and produced in the baculovirus expression vector system have been derived from vertebrate species. Other baculovirus genes in addition to the polyhedrin promoter may be employed to advantage in a baculovirus expression system. These include immediate-early (alpha), delayed-early ( ), late ( ), or very late (delta), according to the phase of the viral infection during which they are expressed. The expression of these genes occurs sequentially, probably as the result of a “cascade” mechanism of transcriptional regulation. (Guarino and Summers, J. Virol. 57:563-571 (1986); Guarino and Summers, J. Virol. 61:2091-2099 (1987); Guarino and Summers, Virol. 162:444-451 (1988); all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety).

Insect recombinant vectors are useful as intermediates for the infection or transformation of insect cell systems. For example, an insect recombinant vector containing a nucleic acid molecule encoding a baculovirus transcriptional promoter followed downstream by an insect signal DNA sequence is capable of directing the secretion of the desired biologically active protein from the insect cell. The vector may utilize a baculovirus transcriptional promoter region derived from any of the over 500 baculoviruses generally infecting insects, such as for example the Orders Lepidoptera, Diptera, Orthoptera, Coleoptera and Hymenoptera, including for example but not limited to the viral DNAs of Autographa californica MNPV, Bombyx mori NPV, Trichoplusia ni MNPV, Rachiplusia ou MNPV or Galleria mellonella MNPV, wherein said baculovirus transcriptional promoter is a baculovirus immediate-early gene IE1 or IEN promoter; an immediate-early gene in combination with a baculovirus delayed-early gene promoter region selected from the group consisting of 39K and a HindIII-k fragment delayed-early gene; or a baculovirus late gene promoter. The immediate-early or delayed-early promoters can be enhanced with transcriptional enhancer elements. The insect signal DNA sequence may code for a signal peptide of a Lepidopteran adipokinetic hormone precursor or a signal peptide of the Manduca sexta adipokinetic hormone precursor (Summers, U.S. Pat. No. 5,155,037; the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Other insect signal DNA sequences include a signal peptide of the Orthoptera Schistocerca gregaria locust adipokinetic hormone precurser and the Drosophila melanogaster cuticle genes CP1, CP2, CP3 or CP4 or for an insect signal peptide having substantially a similar chemical composition and function (Summers, U.S. Pat. No. 5,155,037).

Insect cells are distinctly different from animal cells. Insects have a unique life cycle and have distinct cellular properties such as the lack of intracellular plasminogen activators in which are present in vertebrate cells. Another difference is the high expression levels of protein products ranging from 1 to greater than 500 mg/liter and the ease at which cDNA can be cloned into cells (Frasier, In Vitro Cell. Dev. Biol. 25:225 (1989); Summers and Smith, In: A Manual of Methods for Baculovirus Vectors and Insect Cell Culture Procedures, Texas Ag. Exper. Station Bulletin No. 1555 (1988), both of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety).

Recombinant protein expression in insect cells is achieved by viral infection or stable transformation. For viral infection, the desired gene is cloned into baculovirus at the site of the wild-type polyhedron gene (Webb and Summers, Technique 2:173 (1990); Bishop and Posse, Adv. Gene Technol. 1:55 (1990); both of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety). The polyhedron gene is a component of a protein coat in occlusions which encapsulate virus particles. Deletion or insertion in the polyhedron gene results the failure to form occlusion bodies. Occlusion negative viruses are morphologically different from occlusion positive viruses and enable one skilled in the art to identify and purify recombinant viruses.

The vectors of present invention preferably contain one or more selectable markers which permit easy selection of transformed cells. A selectable marker is a gene the product of which provides, for example biocide or viral resistance, resistance to heavy metals, prototrophy to auxotrophs and the like. Selection may be accomplished by co-transformation, e.g., as described in WO 91/17243, a nucleic acid sequence of the present invention may be operably linked to a suitable promoter sequence. The promoter sequence is a nucleic acid sequence which is recognized by the insect host cell for expression of the nucleic acid sequence. The promoter sequence contains transcription and translation control sequences which mediate the expression of the protein or fragment thereof. The promoter may be any nucleic acid sequence which shows transcriptional activity in the insect host cell of choice and may be obtained from genes encoding polypeptides either homologous or heterologous to the host cell.

For example, a nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein or fragment thereof may also be operably linked to a suitable leader sequence. A leader sequence is a nontranslated region of a mRNA which is important for translation by the fungal host. The leader sequence is operably linked to the 5′ terminus of the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein or fragment thereof. The leader sequence may be native to the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein or fragment thereof or may be obtained from foreign sources. Any leader sequence which is functional in the insect host cell of choice may be used in the present invention.

A polyadenylation sequence may also be operably linked to the 3′ terminus of the nucleic acid sequence of the present invention. The polyadenylation sequence is a sequence which when transcribed is recognized by the insect host to add polyadenosine residues to transcribed mRNA. The polyadenylation sequence may be native to the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein or fragment thereof or may be obtained from foreign sources. Any polyadenylation sequence which is functional in the fungal host of choice may be used in the present invention.

To avoid the necessity of disrupting the cell to obtain the protein or fragment thereof and to minimize the amount of possible degradation of the expressed polypeptide within the cell, it is preferred that expression of the polypeptide gene gives rise to a product secreted outside the cell. To this end, the protein or fragment thereof of the present invention may be linked to a signal peptide linked to the amino terminus of the protein or fragment thereof. A signal peptide is an amino acid sequence which permits the secretion of the protein or fragment thereof from the insect host into the culture medium. The signal peptide may be native to the protein or fragment thereof of the invention or may be obtained from foreign sources. The 5′ end of the coding sequence of the nucleic acid sequence of the present invention may inherently contain a signal peptide coding region naturally linked in translation reading frame with the segment of the coding region which encodes the secreted protein or fragment thereof.

At present, a mode of achieving secretion of a foreign gene product in insect cells is by way of the foreign gene's native signal peptide. Because the foreign genes are usually from non-insect organisms, their signal sequences may be poorly recognized by insect cells and hence, levels of expression may be suboptimal. However, the efficiency of expression of foreign gene products seems to depend primarily on the characteristics of the foreign protein. On average, nuclear localized or non-structural proteins are most highly expressed, secreted proteins are intermediate and integral membrane proteins are the least expressed. One factor generally affecting the efficiency of the production of foreign gene products in a heterologous host system is the presence of native signal sequences (also termed presequences, targeting signals, or leader sequences) associated with the foreign gene. The signal sequence is generally coded by a DNA sequence immediately following (5′ to 3′) the translation start site of the desired foreign gene.

The expression dependence on the type of signal sequence associated with a gene product can be represented by the following example: If a foreign gene is inserted at a site downstream from the translational start site of the baculovirus polyhedrin gene so as to produce a fusion protein (containing the N-terminus of the polyhedrin structural gene), the fused gene is highly expressed. But less expression is achieved when a foreign gene is inserted in a baculovirus expression vector immediately following the transcriptional start site and totally replacing the polyhedrin structural gene.

Insertions into the region −50 to −1 significantly alter (reduce) steady state transcription which, in turn, reduces translation of the foreign gene product. Use of the pVL941 vector optimizes transcription of foreign genes to the level of the polyhedrin gene transcription. Even though the transcription of a foreign gene may be optimal, optimal translation may vary because of several factors involving processing: signal peptide recognition, mRNA and ribosome binding, glycosylation, disulfide bond formation, sugar processing, oligomerization, for example.

The properties of the insect signal peptide are expected to be more optimal for the efficiency of the translation process in insect cells than those from vertebrate proteins. This phenomenon can generally be explained by the fact that proteins secreted from cells are synthesized as precursor molecules containing hydrophobic N-terminal signal peptides. The signal peptides direct transport of the select protein to its target membrane and are then cleaved by a peptidase on the membrane, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, when the protein passes through it.

Another exemplary insect signal sequence is the sequence encoding for Drosophila cuticle proteins such as CP1, CP2, CP3 or CP4 (Summers, U.S. Pat. No. 5,278,050; the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Most of a 9 kb region of the Drosophila genome containing genes for the cuticle proteins has been sequenced. Four of the five cuticle genes contains a signal peptide coding sequence interrupted by a short intervening sequence (about 60 base pairs) at a conserved site. Conserved sequences occur in the 5′ mRNA untranslated region, in the adjacent 35 base pairs of upstream flanking sequence and at −200 base pairs from the mRNA start position in each of the cuticle genes.

Standard methods of insect cell culture, cotransfection and preparation of plasmids are set forth in Summers and Smith (Summers and Smith, A Manual of Methods for Baculovirus Vectors and Insect Cell Culture Procedures, Texas Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin No. 1555, Texas A&M University (1987)). Procedures for the cultivation of viruses and cells are described in Volkman and Summers, J. Virol 19:820-832 (1975) and Volkman et al., J. Virol 19:820-832 (1976); both of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.

(e) Bacterial Constructs and Transformed Bacterial Cells

The present invention also relates to a bacterial recombinant vector comprising exogenous genetic material. The present invention also relates to a bacteria cell comprising a bacterial recombinant vector. The present invention also relates to methods for obtaining a recombinant bacteria host cell, comprising introducing into a bacterial host cell exogenous genetic material. In a preferred embodiment the exogenous genetic material includes a nucleic acid molecule of the present invention having a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 2814 or complements thereof or fragments of either or other nucleic acid molecule of the present invention.

The bacterial recombinant vector may be any vector which can be conveniently subjected to recombinant DNA procedures. The choice of a vector will typically depend on the compatibility of the vector with the bacterial host cell into which the vector is to be introduced. The vector may be a linear or a closed circular plasmid. The vector system may be a single vector or plasmid or two or more vectors or plasmids which together contain the total DNA to be introduced into the genome of the bacterial host. In addition, the bacterial vector may be an expression vector. Nucleic acid molecules encoding protein homologues or fragments thereof can, for example, be suitably inserted into a replicable vector for expression in the bacterium under the control of a suitable promoter for bacteria. Many vectors are available for this purpose and selection of the appropriate vector will depend mainly on the size of the nucleic acid to be inserted into the vector and the particular host cell to be transformed with the vector. Each vector contains various components depending on its function (amplification of DNA or expression of DNA) and the particular host cell with which it is compatible. The vector components for bacterial transformation generally include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: a signal sequence, an origin of replication, one or more marker genes and an inducible promoter.

In general, plasmid vectors containing replicon and control sequences that are derived from species compatible with the host cell are used in connection with bacterial hosts. The vector ordinarily carries a replication site, as well as marking sequences that are capable of providing phenotypic selection in transformed cells. For example, E. coli is typically transformed using pBR322, a plasmid derived from an E. coli species (see, e.g., Bolivar et al., Gene 2:95 (1977); the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). pBR322 contains genes for ampicillin and tetracycline resistance and thus provides easy means for identifying transformed cells. The pBR322 plasmid, or other microbial plasmid or phage, also generally contains, or is modified to contain, promoters that can be used by the microbial organism for expression of the selectable marker genes.

Nucleic acid molecules encoding protein or fragments thereof may be expressed not only directly, but also as a fusion with another polypeptide, preferably a signal sequence or other polypeptide having a specific cleavage site at the N-terminus of the mature polypeptide. In general, the signal sequence may be a component of the vector, or it may be a part of the polypeptide DNA that is inserted into the vector. The heterologous signal sequence selected should be one that is recognized and processed (i.e., cleaved by a signal peptidase) by the host cell. For bacterial host cells that do not recognize and process the native polypeptide signal sequence, the signal sequence is substituted by a bacterial signal sequence selected, for example, from the group consisting of the alkaline phosphatase, penicillinase, lpp, or heat-stable enterotoxin II leaders.

Both expression and cloning vectors contain a nucleic acid sequence that enables the vector to replicate in one or more selected host cells. Generally, in cloning vectors this sequence is one that enables the vector to replicate independently of the host chromosomal DNA and, includes origins of replication or autonomously replicating sequences. Such sequences are well known for a variety of bacteria. The origin of replication from the plasmid pBR322 is suitable for most Gram-negative bacteria.

Expression and cloning vectors also generally contain a selection gene, also termed a selectable marker. This gene encodes a protein necessary for the survival or growth of transformed host cells grown in a selective culture medium. Host cells not transformed with the vector containing the selection gene will not survive in the culture medium. Typical selection genes encode proteins that (a) confer resistance to antibiotics or other toxins, e.g., ampicillin, neomycin, methotrexate, or tetracycline, (b) complement auxotrophic deficiencies, or (c) supply critical nutrients not available from complex media, e.g., the gene encoding D-alanine racemase for Bacilli. One example of a selection scheme utilizes a drug to arrest growth of a host cell. Those cells that are successfully transformed with a heterologous protein homologue or fragment thereof produce a protein conferring drug resistance and thus survive the selection regimen.

The expression vector for producing a protein or fragment thereof can also contains an inducible promoter that is recognized by the host bacterial organism and is operably linked to the nucleic acid encoding, for example, the nucleic acid molecule encoding the protein homologue or fragment thereof of interest. Inducible promoters suitable for use with bacterial hosts include the -lactamase and lactose promoter systems (Chang et al., Nature 275:615 (1978); Goeddel et al., Nature 281:544 (1979); both of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety), the arabinose promoter system (Guzman et al., J. Bacteriol. 174:7716-7728 (1992); the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference), alkaline phosphatase, a tryptophan (trp) promoter system (Goeddel, Nucleic Acids Res. 8:4057 (1980); EP 36,776; both of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety) and hybrid promoters such as the tac promoter (deBoer et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 80:21-25 (1983); the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). However, other known bacterial inducible promoters are suitable (Siebenlist et al., Cell 20:269 (1980); the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

Promoters for use in bacterial systems also generally contain a Shine-Dalgarno (S.D.) sequence operably linked to the DNA encoding the polypeptide of interest. The promoter can be removed from the bacterial source DNA by restriction enzyme digestion and inserted into the vector containing the desired DNA.

Construction of suitable vectors containing one or more of the above-listed components employs standard ligation techniques. Isolated plasmids or DNA fragments are cleaved, tailored and re-ligated in the form desired to generate the plasmids required. Examples of available bacterial expression vectors include, but are not limited to, the multifunctional E. coli cloning and expression vectors such as Bluescript™ (Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif.), in which, for example, encoding an A. nidulans protein homologue or fragment thereof homologue, may be ligated into the vector in frame with sequences for the amino-terminal Met and the subsequent 7 residues of -galactosidase so that a hybrid protein is produced; pIN vectors (Van Heeke and Schuster, J. Biol. Chem. 264:5503-5509 (1989), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference); and the like. pGEX vectors (Promega, Madison, Wis. U.S.A.) may also be used to express foreign polypeptides as fusion proteins with glutathione S-transferase (GST). In general, such fusion proteins are soluble and can easily be purified from lysed cells by adsorption to glutathione-agarose beads followed by elution in the presence of free glutathione. Proteins made in such systems are designed to include heparin, thrombin or factor XA protease cleavage sites so that the cloned polypeptide of interest can be released from the GST moiety at will.

Suitable host bacteria for a bacterial vector include archaebacteria and eubacteria, especially eubacteria and most preferably Enterobacteriaceae. Examples of useful bacteria include Escherichia, Enterobacter, Azotobacter, Erwinia, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Proteus, Salmonella, Serratia, Shigella, Rhizobia, Vitreoscilla and Paracoccus. Suitable E. coli hosts include E. coli W3110 (American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 27,325, Manassas, Va. U.S.A.), E. coli 294 (ATCC 31,446), E. coli B and E. coli X1776 (ATCC 31,537). These examples are illustrative rather than limiting. Mutant cells of any of the above-mentioned bacteria may also be employed. It is, of course, necessary to select the appropriate bacteria taking into consideration replicability of the replicon in the cells of a bacterium. For example, E. coli, Serratia, or Salmonella species can be suitably used as the host when well known plasmids such as pBR322, pBR325, pACYC177, or pKN410 are used to supply the replicon. E. coli strain W3110 is a preferred host or parent host because it is a common host strain for recombinant DNA product fermentations. Preferably, the host cell should secrete minimal amounts of proteolytic enzymes.

Host cells are transfected and preferably transformed with the above-described vectors and cultured in conventional nutrient media modified as appropriate for inducing promoters, selecting transformants, or amplifying the genes encoding the desired sequences.

Numerous methods of transfection are known to the ordinarily skilled artisan, for example, calcium phosphate and electroporation. Depending on the host cell used, transformation is done using standard techniques appropriate to such cells. The calcium treatment employing calcium chloride, as described in section 1.82 of Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, New York: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, (1989), is generally used for bacterial cells that contain substantial cell-wall barriers. Another method for transformation employs polyethylene glycol/DMSO, as described in Chung and Miller (Chung and Miller, Nucleic Acids Res. 16:3580 (1988); the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). Yet another method is the use of the technique termed electroporation.

Bacterial cells used to produce the polypeptide of interest for purposes of this invention are cultured in suitable media in which the promoters for the nucleic acid encoding the heterologous polypeptide can be artificially induced as described generally, e.g., in Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, New York: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, (1989). Examples of suitable media are given in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,304,472 and 5,342,763; both of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

In addition to the above discussed procedures, practitioners are familiar with the standard resource materials which describe specific conditions and procedures for the construction, manipulation and isolation of macromolecules (e.g., DNA molecules, plasmids, etc.), generation of recombinant organisms and the screening and isolating of clones, (see for example, Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Press (1989); Mailga et al., Methods in Plant Molecular Biology, Cold Spring Harbor Press (1995), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference; Birren et al., Genome Analysis: Analyzing DNA, 1, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference).

(f) Computer Readable Media

Soy77 (LIB3108) cDNA library is generated from soybean cultivar Asgrow 3244 (Asgrow Seed Company, Des Moines, Iowa U.S.A.) jasmonic acid control tissue. Seeds are planted at a depth of approximately 2 cm into 2-3 inch peat pots containing Metromix 350 medium and the plants are grown in a greenhouse. The daytime temperature is approximately 29.4° C. and the nighttime temperature 20° C. Soil is checked and watered daily to maintain even moisture conditions. At 9 days post planting, the plantlets are sprayed with either control buffer of 0.1% Tween-20 or jasmonic acid (Sigma J-2500, Sigma, St. Louis, Mo. U.S.A.) at 1 mg/ml in 0.1 % Tween-20. Plants are sprayed until runoff and the soil and the stem is soaked with the spraying solution. At 18 hours post application of jasmonic acid, the soybean plantlets appear growth retarded. Arachidonic treated seedlings are sprayed with 1 m/ml arachidonic acid in 0.1% Tween-20. After 18 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours post treatment, the cotyledons are removed and the remaining leaf and stem tissue above the soil is harvested and frozen in liquid nitrogen. The harvested tissue is stored at −80° C. until RNA preparation. To make RNA, the three sample timepoints were combined and ground. The RNA from the arachidonic treated seedlings is isolated separately. For subtraction, target cDNA is made from the jasmonic acid treated tissue total RNA using the SMART cDNA synthesis system from Clonetech (Clonetech Laboratories, Palo Alto, Calif. U.S.A.). Driver first strand cDNA is covalently linked to Dynabeads following a protocol similar to that described in the Dynal literature (Dynabeads, Dynal Corporation, Lake Success, N.Y. U.S.A.). The target cDNA is then heat denatured and the second strand trapped using Dynabeads oligo-dT. The target second strand cDNA is then hybridized to the driver cDNA in 400 1 2×SSPE for two rounds of hybridization at 65° C. and 20 hours. After each hybridization, the hybridization solution is removed from the system and the hybridized target cDNA removed from the driver by heat denaturation in water. After hybridization, the remaining cDNA is trapped with Dynabeads oligo-dT. The trapped cDNA is then amplified as in previous PCR based libraries and the resulting cDNA ligated into the pSPORT vector (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif. U.S.A.). Fraction 10 of the size fractionated cDNA is ligated into the pSPORT vector in order to capture some of the smaller transcripts characteristic of antifungal proteins.

The LIB3036 genomic library is generated from Mycobacterium neoaurum US52 (ATCC No. 23072, ATCC, Manasas, Va. U.S.A.) cells. Mycobacterium neoaurum US52 is a gram-positive Actinomycete bacterium. Mycobacterium neoaurum US52 is genetically related to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but there is no reason to believe that it is a primary pathogen. It normally is saprophytic, i.e. it lives in soil and gets nutrients from decaying matter. Genomic DNA obtained from Mycobacterium neoaurum US52 is digested for various times with the restriction enzyme Sau3A. The DNA fractions are size-separated on an agarose gel, and the first fraction wherein most of the partially-digested fragments are about 10 kB is used to isolated fragments in the range of 2-3 kB. For LIB3036, the 2-3 kB DNA is cloned into vector pRY401 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif. U.S.A.). The vector pZERO-2 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif. U.S.A.). is used for the construction of LIB3104.

The stored RNA is purified using Trizol reagent from Life Technologies (Gibco BRL, Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, Md. U.S.A.), essentially as recommended by the manufacturer. Poly A+ RNA (mRNA) is purified using magnetic oligo dT beads essentially as recommended by the manufacturer (Dynabeads, Dynal Corporation, Lake Success, N.Y. U.S.A.).

Construction of plant cDNA libraries is well-known in the art and a number of cloning strategies exist. A number of cDNA library construction kits are commercially available. The Superscript™ Plasmid System for cDNA synthesis and Plasmid Cloning (Gibco BRL, Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, Md. U.S.A.) is used, following the conditions suggested by the manufacturer.

Normalized libraries are made using essentially the Soares procedure (Soares et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 91:9228-9232 (1994), the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference). This approach is designed to reduce the initial 10,000-fold variation in individual cDNA frequencies to achieve abundances within one order of magnitude while maintaining the overall sequence complexity of the library. In the normalization process, the prevalence of high-abundance cDNA clones decreases dramatically, clones with mid-level abundance are relatively unaffected and clones for rare transcripts are effectively increased in abundance.

EXAMPLE 2

The cDNA libraries are plated on LB agar containing the appropriate antibiotics for selection and incubated at 37° for a sufficient time to allow the growth of individual colonies. Single colonies are individually placed in each well of a 96-well microtiter plates containing LB liquid including the selective antibiotics. The plates are incubated overnight at approximately 37° C. with gentle shaking to promote growth of the cultures. The plasmid DNA is isolated from each clone using Qiaprep plasmid isolation kits, using the conditions recommended by the manufacturer (Qiagen Inc., Santa Clara, Calif. U.S.A.).

Template plasmid DNA clones are used for subsequent sequencing. For sequencing, the ABI PRISM dRhodamine Terminator Cycle Sequencing Ready Reaction Kit with AmpliTaq® DNA Polymerase, FS, is used (PE Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif. U.S.A.).

EXAMPLE 3

Nucleic acid sequences that encode for the following proteins: triose phosphate isomerase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, fructose 6-phosphate 2-kinase, phosphoglucoisomerase, vacuolar H⁺ translocating-pyrophosphatase, pyrophosphate-dependent fructose-6-phosphate phosphotransferase, invertase, sucrose synthase, hexokinase, fructokinase, NDP-kinase, glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase, phosphoglucomutase and UDP-glucose pyrophophorylase are identified from the Monsanto EST PhytoSeq database using TBLASTN (default values)(TBLASTN compares a protein query against the six reading frames of a nucleic acid sequence). Matches found with BLAST P values equal or less than 0.001 (probability) or BLAST Score of equal or greater than 90 are classified as hits. If the program used to determine the hit is HMMSW then the score refers to HMMSW score.

In addition, the GenBank database is searched with BLASTN and BLASTX (default values) using ESTs as queries. EST that pass the hit probability threshold of 10e⁻⁸ for the following enzymes are combined with the hits generated by using TBLASTN (described above) and classified by enzyme (see Table A below).

A cluster refers to a set of overlapping clones in the PhytoSeq database. Such an overlapping relationship among clones is designated as a “cluster” when BLAST scores from pairwise sequence comparisons of the member clones meets a predetermined minimum value or product score of 50 or more (Product Score=(BLAST SCORE×Percentage Identity)/(5×minimum [length (Seq1), length (Seq2)]))

Since clusters are formed on the basis of single-linkage relationships, it is possible for two non-overlapping clones to be members of the same cluster if, for instance, they both overlap a third clone with at least the predetermined minimum BLAST score (stringency). A cluster ID is arbitrarily assigned to all of those clones which belong to the same cluster at a given stringency and a particular clone will belong to only one cluster at a given stringency. If a cluster contains only a single clone (a “singleton”), then the cluster ID number will be negative, with an absolute value equal to the clone ID number of its single member. Clones grouped in a cluster in most cases represent a contiguous sequence.

*Table Headings
Cluster ID

A cluster ID is arbitrarily assigned to all of those clones which belong to the same cluster at a given stringency and a particular clone will belong to only one cluster at a given stringency. If a cluster contains only a single clone (a “singleton”), then the cluster ID number will be negative, with an absolute value equal to the clone ID number of its single member. The cluster-ID entries in the table refer to the cluster with which the particular clone in each row is associated.

Clone ID

The clone ID number refers to the particular clone in the PhytoSeq database. Each clone ID entry in the table refers to the clone whose sequence is used for (1) the sequence comparison whose scores are presented and/or (2) assignment to the particular cluster which is presented. Note that a clone may be included in this table even if its sequence comparison scores fail to meet the minimum standards for similarity. In such a case, the clone is included due solely to its association with a particular cluster for which sequences of one or more other member clones possess the required level of similarity.

Library

The library ID refers to the particular cDNA library from which a given clone is obtained. Each cDNA library is associated with the particular tissue(s), line(s) and developmental stage(s) from which it is isolated.

NCBI gi

Each sequence in the GenBank public database is arbitrarily assigned a unique NCBI gi (National Center for Biotechnology Information GenBank Identifier) number. In this table, the NCBI gi number which is associated (in the same row) with a given clone refers to the particular GenBank sequence which is used in the sequence comparison. This entry is omitted when a clone is included solely due to its association with a particular cluster.

Method

The entry in the “Method” column of the table refers to the type of BLAST search that is used for the sequence comparison. “CLUSTER” is entered when the sequence comparison scores for a given clone fail to meet the minimum values required for significant similarity. In such cases, the clone is listed in the table solely as a result of its association with a given cluster for which sequences of one or more other member clones possess the required level of similarity.

Score

Each entry in the “Score” column of the table refers to the BLAST score that is generated by sequence comparison of the designated clone with the designated GenBank sequence using the designated BLAST method. This entry is omitted when a clone is included solely due to its association with a particular cluster. If the program used to determine the hit is HMMSW then the score refers to HMMSW score.

P-Value

The entries in the P-Value column refer to the probability that such matches occur by chance.

% Ident

The entries in the “% Ident” column of the table refer to the percentage of identically matched nucleotides (or residues) that exist along the length of that portion of the sequences which is aligned by the BLAST comparison to generate the statistical scores presented. This entry is omitted when a clone is included solely due to its association with a particular cluster.
